Fancy seeing you here, back in the crevasse where my ‘about me’ is. I’m an aspiring narrative designer, as you could probably tell from the rest of this site. Storytelling is something that’s very important to me, as the meaning we give our art (in all its forms) can truly change the world for the better. Or something. Using narrative and storytelling to further understanding and compassion for minorities has been a big driving factor in all the things that I do.
I am currently a student at the game design program at Sheridan College. It’s been a pretty good experience. I am president and founder of the Women and Queer Folk in Game Design club, it’s been very fulfilling building a sense of community for those that need it. And hey, making new friends through it has been pretty sweet. I’ve also won multiple GDC narrative analysis awards: Gold for my paper on Tell Me Why, and Platinum for my paper on Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works.
As for personal interests? I love reading, going on a good hike, drawing, politics, ethics, and *obviously* ice cream. I’m passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusivity, and spend a lot of my free time doing research and promoting equal treatment for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, women, and other underrepresented groups.
So! Now that I’ve sold you on me being a great fit for your team, I can’t wait to work with you. Reach out to me in the method of your choosing, and let’s get cooking.
