audio designer ★ game designer

I'm an indie game developer based in California. Audio is my specialty, but I wear multiple hats (design, narrative, & production)! I like to make whimsical, cutesy, femme games that center sound in intriguing, mechanical ways. I strongly believe in the pro-social power of games and am passionate about creating an inclusive games industry.

With a team of 3 developers, I completed an 11-week accelerator program from Code Coven and Facebook Gaming and released a feature-complete, atmospheric puzzle game demo. The program provided mentorship and funding. I composed interchangeable musical phrases to build an audio puzzle mechanic and created original sound effects. I also collaborated on narrative design and game design to create a wordless story with an evocative environment.

Ruins of acheron★ code coven solstice program 2022

Audio Designer / game designer / narrative Designer

I worked with 4 developers on a strategy puzzle game prototype for a 12 week incubator program by Code Coven and Unity which provided us with funding and mentorship. I helped develop a narrative which highlighted our social impact theme and created/maintained design documents. To convey our game’s setting through audio, I used lo-fi MIDI soundfonts to create retro sounding music tracks and sound effects.
