I'm Amber,  a 31-year-old branding specialist based in Washington, DC moonlighting as a game designer and fiber artist. Being a disabled bisexual agender doofus is a full-time job, however. I make games that I wish existed, games that celebrate the intersection of queerness, mental health, and abject fandom. After getting my feet wet playing D&D, I realized my heart was aching for my original love: storytelling. With the explosion of storytelling-based games and LARPs during quarantine, I felt inexplicably pulled toward this sector of nerddom and knew that this is where I belonged. I hope my games speak to you, to create a bit of light where darkness previously lived. I can't wait to see what worlds you create with them.
