I study AAA-focused game design at Champlain College, where my coursework centers on systemic gameplay and the feedback loops that shape how players learn and decide. Alongside my studies I work with FunRug studio, contributing to team-driven development and learning how design choices move through production.

I value clear documentation, fast graybox iteration, and direct communication across disciplines. I am looking for a postgrad role where I can keep making and improving games.

System design is where I spend most of my attention: how rules, resources, and player actions interact so that a small set of mechanics produces varied and readable play. I test these interactions early and keep the rules legible enough that a player can form and test their own strategies. Level pacing comes next. I shape the rhythm of encounters, rest points, and reward timing so that tension rises and releases deliberately across a session.

Graybox prototyping lets me validate both ideas quickly before art or polish exists. Documentation keeps the reasoning behind each decision visible, so collaborators can review, challenge, and build on it without guessing what the design was meant to do.
