About
Hi there! I’m Lisa Creveling, a Chicago-based narrative designer and game designer who loves blending storytelling with tight, player-friendly systems. I specialize in crafting branching dialogue, world-building, and accessible gameplay across indie projects and VR experiences.
Currently, I work on Dream Walker, Frostbound, and Light the Way, guiding design, writing, and production while building communities through streaming and charity efforts. I thrive on collaboration, iterative development, and making games that resonate with players.
