★ Series Development • design director • 2019-2021
Writer/musician Pat Patenaude and I co-developed a series with Big Jump Entertainment. This unique opportunity had me rocking a multifaceted generalist role and design from scratch. Ultimately we let the option expire, but I still intend on producing this for Pat in whichever capacity he sees fit.★ Passion Projects
I've been making my own characters and worlds since sentience first clicked. This drive to create is my raison d'être, and my primary goal is to complete as many of these projects as possible, in whichever format fits best. 🩵Freelance • character and prop design •
I occasionally accept development and series gigs with studios and indie creators if my main quest isn't too demanding.
