Dogs Day (2019)
A Point-and-Click Adventure Game made during the 2019 Global Game Jam.
Dogs Day follows a day in the life of Baloo, a grumpy and lonely 20-something graduate student, who, on his way to get some groceries, becomes entangled in the lives of three dogs: Rye the Lab, Garth the Mix, and Zolo the Xolo. His mission, whether he likes it or not, is to return each dog to their owners, while learning some important life lessons along the way.

Who Is R.Mutt? ARG (2019 - 2020)
Paidia Games
A feminist alternate-reality historical game about a toilet, or rather, about the lack of a toilet.
Who Is R. Mutt is centered around the (in)famous Fountain ready-made sculpture, with players working to undo decades of misattribution and discover the true identity of the illusive “R. Mutt.”
Shown at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston during their “Museums and the Web” event.

SPACE PORT X (2018)
In SPACE PORT X, you manage the incoming traffic at an intergalactic space station, with a variety of ships needing your guidance to reach their designated landing ports. It is up to you to draw flight paths with your mouse to not only keep the Ships from crashing into each other and the station, but also to save them from succumbing to the many perils of space (asteroids, black holes, and wormholes) as well, which threatens to both cause massive destruction and cost you your job.

QUARANTINE (2019)
QUARATINE is a (now unfortunately named) card-based hidden role game in the tradition of games like Werewolf or Mafia, wherein players assume the role of scientists trapped within a government facility desperately trying to find and eliminate an alien imposter before they eliminate the rest of the team. To do so, they must ask each other a series of questions in the hope of forcing the alien to show its hand by displaying one of several different physical or verbal “ticks”.

EVEREALM (2019)
EveRealm is a fast-paced, isometric magic shooter that follows a mage as they enter a desolate and abandoned cathedral in search of an artifact long sought by their order. Gameplay is based primarily around fast paced combat, combining the speed and intense action of games like Hotline Miami and DOOM.
Project Role: Level Designer, Writer
CAPTURE (2021)
Capture is a concept for an inverted battle royale game where players assume the role of a war photographer and photojournalist attempting to document various conflicts around the world. Our goal with this concept was to design a game that would use and/or subvert the genre conventions of battle royale games to force player to grapple with the human costs, various moral dilemmas, and often life-threatening situations that journalists face while covering warzones. We also developed a usability testing plan to help us guide potential development down the road.

LABOR RELATIONS AND YOU (2021)
Labor Relations and You is a satirical educational interactive film about the importance of labor unions. On its face, Labor Relations and You seems to be a low-budget corporate training video about how workers don’t need “third parties” getting between them and management. However, as the video progresses, players are presented with various choices that force their player character to either tow the company line, or allow them to organize with their co-workers and form a union. By using the familiar language of capital, we designed Labor Relations and You to illustrate both the costs of following the rules imposed by corporations, and the many benefits workers can get when they stand together.
