    uniE613 House of Cards Script
    House of Cards is a game following an unnamed card mage, going through a kingdom and getting rid of the evil cards that threaten to destroy his home. The script is attached , as I wrote the entire thing myself during my time with the School of Interactive Arts (SIA). SIA is a game design program in NYC for high school students, and during my senior year, at the height of COVID, a small studio created this game where I was the Head of Narrative. The main character, to this day, is one of my favorites that I've ever written, so I hope you enjoy!

    uniE603 Martial Lawless: Prototype
    This is Martial Lawless, a game that I produced for my Game Development II class at RIT. During this time, I was also in charge of narrative production and audio design, which led to me making 3 tracks that I'm very fond of in the game. They are all listed in my portfolio, and were made using BeepBox! To play the game, click the link here: https://www.twine.net/signin music beat instrumental soundtrack beepbox videogame

    uniE613 ChangelingVR Script
    This is the script for a game called ChangelingVR, a VR narrative mystery game, where you play as the dream walker Aurelia. When a family calls her about a problem with their baby, she embarks on a journey through the minds of herself and others and learn everything she can. She will find that she's not prepared for what she discovers... I was the Narrative Lead for this game, meaning I heavily assisted in scriptwriting and research, as well as coordinating with other teams to finish the project during our period working there. I also helped direct dialogue recording sessions and tracked workflow of my team. For more information on the game, or to play it yourself, visit the ChangelingVR website at https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE613 Lovely Day ACAPELLA
    This one hits home... This is a cover of Lovely Day by the late legend Bill Withers, and it was completely arranged by me on MuseScore and performed at the 2024 Chill Beats concert by RIT's Eight Beat Measure. This was my senior solo, a performance given to all graduating members, and this song and performance means so much to me. This group honed and greatly improved my skills and love for singing, and I miss being able to entertain with them. Still, I hope you enjoy the arrangement!

    uniE613 Heart to Heart
    For a quick personal project, I wrote an interactive story about a character and the person with a spark of love between them. Will they find happiness together, or will their emotions be too much for either of them to handle? creativewriting writing romance fiction interactivestory
    uniE608 Out of Sight
    Assisted my good friend, filmmaker and animator Kerry May, in composing their capstone film as a SOFA student at RIT. This version is unfinished in terms of animation, but with complete music, as to not expose the quality of their work before public release. It was a very fun project, as we both got to focus on more eerie, horror elements of composing which was a fresh terrain for both of us! music composer audio film
