she/they. I write ttrpgs. I continue to find myself drawn to the depth of journaling games and the portability of zine games. Generally, my work is usually hitting somewhere on a Venn diagram of three things: Sweetly cozy, deeply existential, and surprisingly silly. If I can create something that does all three, then I'll call that success. I'll even settle for two of three most days.
By day, I am a children's librarian. By night, I work on novels. All the time, I think about game design. I hope you enjoy exploring my work, and please let me know if you have any questions. A selection of recent releases are at the top, and everything else is categorized below.
