I help game makers tighten up rules, systems, and flow—like a playtest partner who speaks both usability and vibes.
Whether you’re crafting a tabletop experience, an interactive story, or a digital platform, I help your ideas feel more intuitive, joyful, and usable. Sometimes that means reworking player flow, sometimes it’s rewriting onboarding, and sometimes it’s just answering the question:
“Why does no one click this?”
If your rulebook reads like a wall of text or your app has a 30% drop-off at the tutorial… I’m the guy you call.
From a small group of super nerds, in Lyons, Colorado comes a revolution in tabletop roleplaying games. Trapdoor needed an app that did two major things. One, allow all Pathfinder books to be imported through an engine and then edited through the app (much like a copywriter asking “Is this all correct”.) Two, players or Game Masters could create their own campaigns, track characters and adventures in real time. Playbook centered around Pathfinder content (the entire library) that was digitized with a rules engine that allowed the UI to become the first ever fully captured game play tool that allowed Players and GMs to track all games and characters in one place.
I helped with a redesign before going to GenCon2017 to promote it.
We tested with actual Pathfinder campaigns.
I provided complete redesigned wireframes to the executive and development teams - as I was not a roleplaying expert.
I’m now a D&D fan….don’t tell Pathfinder.
