I am a writer and designer working at the intersections of literature, design fiction, and virtual experiences. I explore how narrative and interactive media can converge to shape speculative futures. I aim to create immersive projects that blend prose with interface and hypertext to push a new wave of storytelling. My goal is to contribute to a seminal hypertext that defines American fiction or signals a fresh wave of speculative storytelling, blending experimental writing with interactive technology and immersive media.
