About
Hi, I’m Ave Busby, a production-focused professional with a background spanning live performance, game-enabled experiences, and creative direction. I’ve led teams of production staff, built and maintained schedules, and fostered collaboration across design leads to deliver timely, high-quality shows and events. From running Baltimore Rock Opera Society productions to founding Taletell Hearts, I thrive on turning complex ideas into smooth, executable plans and strong on-site execution.
I’m passionate about narrative design and storytelling across interactive media. I write and develop lore, co-create interactive performances, and mentor teams to bring ambitious concepts to life. I enjoy raising awareness and funds for charity through live streams, and I stay curious about emerging tools and systems to keep our projects fresh and engaging.
