Selected Portfolio

Ice-Bound (Official Website)

Skills: Game Design and World-Building/Writing
Awards: IGF 2015 Nomination “Excellence in Narrative” & Nuovo Award (honorable mention)
SXSW 2015 Nomination "Gamer’s Voice"
IndieCade 2014 "Best Story/World Design"

A two-person project involving a narrative game that interacts with a physical book. Leveraging the strengths of procedural generation, the player forms stories to help KRIS, an AI, finish his novel. Stories are locked in by scanning pages from a physical book, which contains further material that reveals the tortured past of the AI. A custom visualization tool allows “debugging” of the procedural narrative by traversing paths and highlighting problematic areas.

Skills: Game Design and World-Building/Writing
Exhibitions: Inventing the Future of Games 2013 & ground(ctrl) 2013 MFA show

A solo project developed in just one year, XMPLAR is an ARG (alternate reality game) combining an iOS/Android mobile app with conceptual networks to generate dynamic content, culminating in a live event using embedded systems and interactive projection to tell the story of AIs looking for their creator, who disappeared under suspicious circumstances.

Skills: Interactive Narrative Design and Visual Design
Exhibitions: Pathfinders: 25 years of Experimental Literary Art & Digital Media Now

An interactive narrative concerning memory and the passage of time, leveraging augmented reality and a mechatronic cabinet for its display. The experience is composed of two parts--the first, several text and image segments connected through augmented reality and interactive projection to digital collages. The second, a cabinet which opens drawers containing objects and bits of text based on the pattern the viewer knocks upon it.

Skills: Interactive Narrative Design
Awards: Dr. Irving Serlin Award for Senior Thesis

An interactive fiction of over 800 interconnected nodes leading the player through an allegorical re-interpretation of the Goldilocks story from the woodsman’s prospective, implemented on a CMS custom-coded to remember the readers and track their progress through the narrative.
