Grad Work
It's not the destination, it's the journey. That's what you'll find here - small projects I've worked on with classmates in nerd graduate school that have helped me grow and develop my skills.
Newspark
​​
Newspark was an initiative to engage a wider audience with important news topics through play. My co-creators Cherisse Datu, Joyce Rice, and I developed a card game to help people understand the water crisis in California.
​
Newspark was exhibited at the Newseum and at the Smithsonian Museum for Natural History.

Co-created with Cherisse Datu and Ffion Goss-Alexander
Role: Narrative designer
Mental Health Jenga
Mental Health Jenga was the first game I designed as part of my MA in game design. The goal of the assignment was to create a game whose procedural rhetoric matched the ideological rhetoric. In other words, I created a game whose very actions reflected the game’s message. I chose to use Jenga as a base to create a game about stress and used the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory as an empirical foundation.
