I oversaw all text for Dreamhaven’s studio Secret Door on the upcoming Sunderfolk, an original fantasy tactical tabletop-inspired couch co-op role-playing game releasing in 2025. I’ve led narrative direction of the characters, setting, and complete storyline for this project in collaboration with my team. I was the main owner of the entire dialogue script and directly wrote or edited every piece of text in this game, from item names and flavor text to buttons to to settings to ability descriptions to a unique NPC conversation system. I helped direct voice actress Anjali Bhimani’s performance as this game’s GM, and guided localization efforts across all languages for this release. I also named the game! Sunderfolk was the first name I pitched for this project, and became our favorite over time.

Additionally, I wrote the copy for a lot of marketing and public-facing materials for this game, including the videos below and the game website. Further details of my work here are under NDA as my efforts are pending release.
