What I Make:

- Interactive campaigns & ARGs: End-to-end design and execution: story, puzzles, live ops, and systems that keep players moving forward.
- Narrative for real places: Immersive, location-based stories mapped onto real-world landmarks, architecture, and public art.
- Rapid prototypes: Working web apps and social-native puzzles, not just decks. As little as three days from concept to playable demo.
