Kennesaw State University

At Kennesaw State University, I had the luxury of working with an awesome team of students and professors. Currently, we are making a couple of mainline games that all focus on the topic of discrimination. Our first game, Corporation Inc., was completed over the summer and submitted to the Critical Thinking Challenge hosted by the Jennifer Ann Group. Our team was lucky enough to be picked as one of the winners and you can find the full press release here.

Narrative Design

Wrote and edited dialog and cinematic scenes, and worked extensively with industry tools like FinalDraft, Excel, and Microsoft Word to elevate our narrative delivery.

Collaborated with a team of artists to make sure that narrative beats were reflected visually.
Interfaced with programmers to ensure that gameplay was meeting proposed designs.

Creating Realistic Scenarios

Problem:

Because our goal was to create a realistic representation of discrimination in the workplace, we had to continually prototype to find a narrative style that worked best for us.
