Hello! I'm Owen Bauman, a professional writer and video game producer 👾 As a writer, I am a consumer and producer of all types of media: books, film, video games. I worked as a Game Writer for a top down (2.5D), horror game: writing dialogue, crafting encounters, and fleshing out character motivations. And I have experience as a Narrative Designer for a 2D, story driven, adventure platformer: ensuring the broader story arc is intriguing and genuine, emotional beats are hitting, and characters are believable down to their core. I studied screenwriting and transmedia storytelling in Los Angeles where my love for film grew into a talent I have been honing ever since. I am also a Scrum Certified Producer who has worked with independent developers and companies. I have experience with timeline management (Jira, Trello, Gantt, Burndown), interdisciplinary teams (programing, art, level design, UI/UX, audio), stakeholder communication, facilitating meetings and Scrum Events, and maintaining a cohesive and achievable vision that delivers consistent value.…Hello!
