My “Scavenger Hunt Tutorial: Applying Game Design Fundamentals” talk for Full Indie is now live if you wanna watch. Momming meets game development. youtu.be/bZLygcjyjl4?... It’s 12 minutes long!

My friend Alex Carey and I made a game! Have you ever woken up shivering after kicking off your covers in the middle of the night? “As the Fire Dies” is a text-based fantastical adventure through a dream world that feels the effect of a “real life” fire. 20-30 min! springthing.net/2025/play.ht...

Many thanks to the Canada Media Fund's Now & Next for giving me the platform to say what I wanted to say. If my GDC talk proposal had been accepted, this is the gist of it, originally titled "Achievement Unlocked: Diversity Success". #EconomicBenefit #TeamGrowth #DEIA cmf-fmc.ca/now-next/art...

If you’re Canadian and/or have access to CBC Gem, North of North is the most fantastic series!!! North of North gem.cbc.ca/north-of-north
