I'm a web developer, graphic designer, content strategist, project manager, and ui/ux researcher. I've never let myself rest on doing just one thing in any of my roles and I'm always looking for the areas where my skillsets overlap to help ensure a more complete and successful project. I maintain a lite writing and art direction career with just under 40 books released. In my free time, and for a few clients, I've been dabbling in video game and interactive experience creations.
I’ve been creating web experiences since the early 2000s, working in all avenues of creation from design to concepting to coding. Through my company Bee Zen Web Design I have helped many companies and organizations with their web presences. Outside of my own company, I have worked in full time roles for advertising agencies, multi-national companies, non-profits, librarires, and college universities.
I’ve been writing and designing games since ~ 2002, but my passion for good stories and games is lifelong. I love tabletop RPGs for their stories, and their collaborative nature. You get to sit down with a group of people and work out the story together. It’s a unique medium, and one I enjoy enabling for others.
