About

Writer, game developer, SEO expert and content producer with two decades of experience making people click on things.

See my writing, planning, narrative design and cinematic creation in Mighty Kingdom’s narrative games, including Star Trek: Lower Decks, which won Best Storytelling at the 2023 Mobile Game Awards. (I was primary writer and cinematics vision holder, but more importantly, I made Garashir canon.)

I can connect you to an audience. Observe my powers in SEO, copywriting, keyword analysis, competitor analysis, content design and audience identification in the way “Mystic Messenger guide” still returns VG247 at the top of search pages. Have you ever read a video game guide titled “how to get the best ending”? You’re welcome: I started that. Seems obvious in hindsight, but the best ideas always do.

I also sold a couple of pieces to The Toast. Real ones know.
