Welcome! I'm a Berlin-based writer with seventeen years of experience in video game storytelling. I specialize in character-driven stories that draw inspiration from historical events, people, and cultures. I like to stay curious, ask questions, and learn new things on every project I'm on.

About Me
Writer
I am a versatile writer with a specialty in writing for interactive narratives, including choice-based branching games.
In addition to work-for-hire in a number of genres (Sci-fi, Fantasy, Historical Murder Mystery), I have a number of creator-owned projects in various stages of development. I'm currently Head of Writing at Wooga.
Historical Researcher
I have a Master's degree from the University of Chicago, where I wrote my thesis on the educational approach of ninth-century theologian and philosopher Johannes Scotus Eriugena.
Research is one of the significant skills I bring to my writing work, and I am available for hire as a historical consultant.
Speaker & Mentor
Mentoring other writers and teaching the writing craft is a passion of mine.
I've led multiple writing teams and helped over a dozen writers develop their craft through personal one-on-one feedback sessions. In addition, I've led writing workshops for small groups and delivered talks at game conferences around the world.Contact
