What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build accessible, industry-aligned game design and interactive learning experiences, combining curriculum architecture, hands-on prototyping, and mentorship that helps diverse learners create portfolio-ready work.

I've shaped game design education at Southern New Hampshire University, architecting curriculum for its Game Design degree rollout and defining learning outcomes, course mapping, and industry alignment standards.

At eDynamic Learning and Mindera, I create playable Unity prototypes, C# exercises, teacher resources, and multidisciplinary interactive design curricula. I use Backward Design to help learners produce portfolio-ready work in Unreal Engine, Figma, 3D prototyping, and mobile product design.

My background includes shipped work at Electronic Arts on The Sims, Madden, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, plus leading OrangeAxis, a design and UI/UX studio. I'm especially focused on accessible, hardware-agnostic instruction for neurodiverse learners and students with physical disabilities.
