I am in love with the power of stories - how they shape us and how we shape them. Through these narrative instruments we understand the world, through telling stories we change it. In school I studied Theater Arts and Political Science and fell in love with finding the connections and correlations between them. I took my gaming hobby and brought that in, looking at the way that the underlying structures of how systems work influence our thoughts and actions. This has lead to my primary, parallel, lines of effort. In one life I am a writer of stories and a designer of games. In another I am an activist and analyst in the political realm. I want to find ways to make interesting things happen in the world, and be surrounded by people who believe in that as well. These threads intertwine and shape each other.
