PORTFOLIO
I design morally complex, realistically grounded narratives for board games and interactive media. Drawing on my background as a scholar of moral and political philosophy, I specialize in crafting unsolvable dilemmas—choices with no easy right or wrong answers. My narratives reflect the tension at the heart of human experience: the conflict between personal interest, emotions, justice, and the need for stable political order—all of which may pull in different directions. The worlds I build shift in response to how players confront those dilemmas, making consequences fully felt—for better or worse. Below is a selection of shipped projects and narrative experiments.
