If you are interested in hiring me for any of these things, I'd love to talk with you about your project. Tabletop games are the perfect medium to learn more about yourself through pretending to be someone else. I have a great love for collaborative storytelling, and my aim is to design games that encourage folks to step just outside of their comfort zones and play in new ways.
