About

I write, design, develop, edit, and teach tabletop RPG content, and I promote it to the communities that bring it to life. I bring a strong blend of game design practice and scholarship, producing book-length work as author, editor, project manager, and publisher.

I also mentor and coach writers, collaborate with authors and creative teams, and share expertise through talks and panels. My work emphasizes thoughtful mechanics, diverse representation, and educational value—especially around gender, queerness, and trans experiences in games.
