I am a bonfire of creative energy. Currently, I'm channeling that energy into my role as Creative Lead or 2wai, a new company aiming to create the most accessible, reliable, and lifelike digital avatars. My wide diversity of creative and operational expertise has allowed me to play a highly valuable role in the early-stage company alongside its founders.I am also the Creative Director for Play Alchemy, an indie game studio specializing in Discord game development. I oversee all art creation, storytelling, and content strategy for both in-house titles and our clients' games. As the first employee, I also assist with business development, UX/UI, and marketing.At Play Alchemy, we recently released a new strategy autobattler called "The Lunatics" for Shrapnel, one of the biggest new FPS game studios. I wrote and directed the story, cinematics, dialog scenes, and PvE encounters. I also scoped and drafted designs for the characters, combat animations, scenery, VFX, HUD, and UI within the creative restrictions of SHRAPNEL lore.Prior to my involvement with Play Alchemy, I co-founded a solution to inequities in the nature media industry called Mammalz. For over 5 years, I helped raise three rounds of funding, developed a live video streaming social platform similar to Twitch from scratch, managed a team of 3-5 direct reporters and over a dozen vendor relationships, and helped launch careers for dozens of creators by monetizing their thousands of fans.Before Mammalz, I was a freelance content producer. My greatest achievement was Alliestrasza's YouTube channel, which I grew from 900 to over 100,000 subscribers. I also worked on countless live broadcasts, TV shows, indie films, and documentaries, one of which will premiere on Netflix in 2025.I am passionate about the natural world and have many outdoor adventure hobbies including climbing, skiing, hiking, and scuba diving. I spend my indoor time immersing myself in fantasy worlds through tabletop RPGs, TV shows, and video games.
