I am a full time Unity Game Developer with experience, designing, building, and publishing games. I have 6+ years of experience developing in Unity and supporting softwares. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of game development, I have learned adjacent skills such as 3D modeling, sprite art, animation, particle effect systems, User Interface design, VR/XR rigging, audio editing, and much more. I have worked in the technology industry for the last 10 years. Along the way, I have performed contract work including web design, IT consulting, customer service, and both mobile and desktop game development. My game development partner and I have almost completed a VR arcade game and we are also finishing work on a casual game featured in a recent game jam. My daughter was born this summer and my family is in need of supplemental income until the other projects I have in development are completed. I am very diligent with my work and can learn as needed to accomplish my tasks. I have priced my rate very low as I don't have much of a track record on Upwork yet. Please feel free to reach out about your project or work.

If you need someone to write a ton of barks, item descriptions, or NPC dialogue to meet your deadline, that’s me. I'm a freelance video game writer and I focus on quality work with a quick turnaround at a fair price. I'm also a game journalist, podcaster, comedian, and more. My endless thirst to learn and create has led me to working on indie game projects with a team, and as a solo developer, to expand my abilities as a game designer and programmer. I’m a highly motivated, creative, thoughtful writer with strong communication skills and a wide-variety of extensive experience drafting and editing for a number of different contexts. I'd love to assist game development studios where hard work, a detail-oriented approach and strong writing skills would be an asset to the company. I am also available to write for a wide variety of other projects. Some of my favorite games are Hollow Knight, Super Mario Odyssey, and early entries in the Final Fantasy series.
