Career Journey
Personal Bio
I began my career in game development as a Screenshot Artist at Warner Bros. in 2010. In 2011 I was promoted to Audio Production Assistant, working with the audio development team to ship two successful expansion packs. Learning quickly, I became an Associate Audio Designer in 2012, and continued to polish my design skills while working on AAA titles such as The Lord of the Rings Online®, Dungeons and Dragons Online®, and DC Comics Infinite Crisis.
In 2014 I traveled through New Zealand for a year, where I found a passion for bird watching and recording. In 2015 I brought that passion to Seattle, where I began volunteering and freelancing with local environmental non-profits to shoot video, take photos, and produce educational content. In my spare time, I enjoyed creating shorts about nature and the great outdoors as I explored Puget Sound’s parks, mountains, and ferry ports.
I relocated to New England in 2019, jumping on board with Bit Fry Game Studios as Senior Marketing Producer. We enthusiastically launched Bit Fry’s first-ever title Ultimate Rivals™: The Rink in late 2019 on Apple Arcade, followed by our second release, Ultimate Rivals™: The Court in 2021. We then ported our titles to Steam in a Beta capacity at the end of that year.
In early 2022 I joined the renowned game studio Giant Squid. There I lead the creative marketing campaigns of award-winning titles such as ABZÛ and The Pathless. I'm excited to foster family-friendly spaces for our fans to gather and celebrate their experiences along the way. As I work to move our latest title to console, and ramp up for the next big thing, I’m still taking time to stop and listen to the birds.
