At Mendi, I launched Red Tail Pirates’ Kickstarter on time and under budget ahead of PAX. It surpassed $21,000, met its goal in 12 hours, earned Projects We Love, and ranked #1 on Fresh Favorites for 48 hours.

At Hunters Entertainment, I manage 8+ writers, editors, and artists, and I owned the art direction, budget, and timeline for Werewolves in Dillard, which shipped three weeks early and $500 under budget. My shipped game credits also include Mutant Football League, and I contributed to Mutant Football League 2’s Kickstarter campaign.
