Selected work.
Shipped titles and prototypes across racing, bullet hell, survival horror and physics-driven action.
Axon Park
My most recent work. Game design for Fronterra, Axon Park's game-native platform of interactive 3D worlds where learning is the byproduct of play. It runs on the same immersive foundation behind the studio's enterprise training, with work reaching institutions like Harvard, Columbia, the University of Michigan and Mount Sinai.
Slackers: Carts of Glory
A chaotic physics racer from Falling Saints, barreling shopping carts through the suburbs. Brought on for QA and playtesting consultation across development, with a credit in the shipped release.
Ball Bulét
An isometric bullet hell built around a single mechanic: a ricocheting ball you bank off walls and enemies to climb a tower floor by floor. A tight, readable difficulty curve carries the whole game. Shipped on Steam with a team out of AIV.
Moonplague
A survival horror aboard a decaying lunar station, built on slow dread and scarce resources. The spaces and core loop are designed around a fully diegetic, in-world UI and deliberate resource tension. Developed in an indie studio with support from 34BigThings and Microsoft's Quickload.
Angry Zilla
A physics-driven destruction sprint: flatten a city against a 45-second clock. Fast to read, fast to master, designed for the score chase. Built for Brackeys Game Jam.
Studios & teams.
