Hi there! I’m Kay Marlow Allen, a game designer, poet, and publisher based in Massachusetts, and this is my teeny tiny studio. I’m currently open to freelance editing & game writing inquiries, and I’m also available for interviews, podcast appearances, collaborations, and zine trades! I send out a free bimonthly newsletter about play and creativity called Saturn Peach! If you'd like to receive essays and sneak peeks into my design process, you can sign up right here.  I’m interested in sharing the mundanity and the magic of the everyday, and my work creates spaces for resting, reflecting, and connecting.
