Riot Games - Copywriter
League of Legends is a complex and rich landscape to work on story and voice. On publishing I spent time in creative ideation, pitching, and delivering final words in copy or narrative. I’ve worked on award-winning marquee videos and campaigns as a copy and narrative writer, and as a creative lead on various projects. Every champion and product has a unique tone and we define what that is. League voice is casual, but our champions are not. Each skin, new champ, rework, and patch means something. If you feel that, GG.

League Made Inc - Founder / Writer
I founded this full service creative agency to learn how to do these things rather than wait for the experience. The market is always shifting, people want new things every year. Learning how to adapt across markets is based on how deep you're willing to go to find your brand truth. Then communicate that truth in different ways to different people. And you're in business.

Millward Brown Digital - QA Engineer / Junior DevOps Engineer
So back in the day I used be a QA Engineer on CompetePro, an analytics software. This is how I learned product pipelines and how consumers are targeted through marketing. It also helps to have a dev background when working closely with them ;).
