Hello! My name is (she/her) and you have reached my website. I am an independent game developer and creative technologist based in Brooklyn, New York. You can see some of the things I have made over here ︎I recently directed The Crush House , an game with Nerial, published by Devolver Digital.
I’m also working on an experimental game produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
In the past, I’ve worked as a creative technologist at Google Creative Lab, and an outreach lead at Kickstarter. I am also an adjunct faculty member at ITP at NYU, which is where I received my Master’s degree.
Beyond doing computer stuff,
I enjoy cooking, powerlifting, and recently, streaming on Twitch.
