Work Experience
Repaint • Cofounder
May 2023 - Current
As a founder, I wear many hats. I designed Repaint, coded the frontend V1, made the rendering engine, and I do outreach and talk to users.
TempoStorm • Prototype Game Designer
Jun 2022 - Apr 2023
I returned to The Bazaar after Tempo scaled to ~40 people. My role was to keep the design aligned with the vision. Mostly I designed features & cards, and communicated the designs to coders and artists.
TempoStorm • Lead Game Designer
Aug 2019 - Jul 2021
I was the lead game designer at an indie game studio. Their debut game is The Bazaar (unreleased). In collaboration with the ceo Reynad, I invented the core rules and designed most of the content.
