I'm currently doing contract work but I'm still looking for more – contract or full-time. I'm a narrative designer, writer, systems designer, and game designer with a decade of game dev experience, on projects ranging from indie games, to IP support for a major studio, to interactive video.

The Future Class was created in 2020 when a lot of companies responded to online critiques and broader social justice movements with DEI initiatives. Hard not to read part of the subtext here as the TGAs, like many other brands, trying to distance itself from "woke."

The saying is "Sandwiches Solve Problems" for a reason dammit.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I launched a podcast! Make Games, Drink Coffee is a podcast featuring tightly edited interviews with game developers - each episode is 30 minutes or less. No rambling discussions, no boring monologues. Our first guest is Kay Purcell, CM and PROFESSIONAL DUNGEON MASTER! Listen at the link below!

Episode 3 of Make Games, Drink Coffee is out today! This week's guest is @sahilbajaj.dev, a game writer and narrative designer. Sahil has worked on the Blackwood Charter Escape Room with Sweet Baby Inc and with Veritable Joy on ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area, and more!

New podcast episode! This week, I talk with @lowbo.io (Benjamin Lindsay), a former Riot game designer who worked on League of Legends and on Riot's illustrious and secretive R&D projects. We talked about Silksong, League of Legends, and what "good game design" even means! makegamesdrinkcoffee.com

New podcast episode! This week, I spoke with @donnotron.bsky.social, founder of the Beauty Cult, creator of Black Future '88, musician, and punk rock indie game developer! We spoke about games as subversive art, horror movies, advice on breaking into the industry, and more! makegamesdrinkcoffee.com

New podcast episode! I spoke with @homecrust.bsky.social, a game designer, writer, and narrative designer with a ridiculous variety of experience writing and designing for indie, mobile, and AAA games. He is also a hobbyist blacksmith! We talked about that too! www.makegamesdrinkcoffee.com

[PLEASE RT] If you worked on an aid bundle on itch.io could you please reply? @spritewrench.com and I are hopefully going to start working on one for Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa! (Also if you're interested in adding your game, reply as well!)

The goal is not to replace QA with AI. It's to drive down the wages of QA even further than they already are

Skin Deep (Blendo Games, 2025)

accolades are important to marginalized folks. not being able to access even an archived post hosted by TGA website kinda sucks ass. not to mention how bad of a look it is to just destroy 5 years of "hey look at us we're uplifting 50 incredible devs" to "don't look don't look"

3:19am I believe in us. We will be okay. We will see communism in our lifetimes. I love you. 3:44am Burning all my paintings. My art is a waste I am sorry for wasting so much time I will never be good enough 4:31am if kirby swallowed a pirate he would be Scurby

my game was nominated at TGA a few years ago! i was highlighted in a developer reel (pasting it below) and i felt so honored and grateful. now i feel shitty and icky that my cohort reaped the benefits the previous ones fought for, only for it to be killed. youtu.be/ojQSeNfHokY?...

For folks who think Rockstar firing 30+ workers in the union isn't union busting - what do you think union busting would look like? Do you think they'd come right out and be like "Yep, we're union busting"? Is that what you'd need to hear before you believed that's what they were doing?

look upon my works and despacito

This meme is funnier when you consider that Irrfan Khan (the guy in this meme) starred in "The Namesake".

I’m just saying, I directed a movie for basically no money that debuted in the 90s on rotten tomatoes and got distribution with no stars attached, I did not get a single call and couldn’t even find a rep as a director. This was not the case for any of the male directors I went to AFI with.

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

Jellycat just opened their pop up store in my country, which means that I can see this guy 😭😭😭 urrrghgdhdhdhdh chonky grumpy boi

Houdini’s siblings are all in the adoption process but he hasn’t received any applications - most likely because of his coloring, since tabby cats are fairly common. He’s incredibly sweet and hilarious and will fill your home with joy. kittenrescue.org/available-an...

Hi. I've been trying but I can't come up with a good thing to write here because the thing I wrote in this steam post took most of my energy.

IT’S HERE 😭💖 My very first academically-published article all about the application of psychodramatic principles in RPGs using the “Mind of Madness” quest in Skyrim! This topic means a lot to me in many fronts, so thank you so much @wanderingshrink.bsky.social & @drkowert.bsky.social!!!

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

man I dunno this is just off the top of my head, probably missed some things

YALL ARE OLD AND LAZY yeah that's exactly right. Roast their asses Ella.

City Council President Mary Sheffield will be Detroit’s newest mayor and the first woman to lead the city.

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!* www.curbed.com/article/zohr...

Well done Zohran! And of course the real victor of the day - typography.

I’m going to basically spend all morning laughing like a maniac. I have BEEN saying! Rebuilding civic infrastructure is EVERYTHING.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Last week, 30 employees in the United Kingdom and Canada of GTA VI developer Rockstar working to organize for better working conditions were unexpectedly and unfairly dismissed. Linked below is a fundraiser to help them out in the coming weeks and days. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...
