2018 - 2024

Creative Director - Art Director - Department lead - Writer - Voice actor

For about 6 years, daily, I directed a team of around 20 to 30 artists, game designers, programmers, directors and producers in creating the following award-winning games:

● We Were Here Together

● We Were Here Forever

● We Were Here Expeditions: The Friendship

I was the creative leader of the studio. I wrote the main story, the lore and the

larger WWH Universe. I also wrote and directed the trailers and cutscenes and

performed as a voice actor for several characters within the games and trailers.

I worked together with the marketing department to come up with fresh

ways to promote the game and was involved in almost every other aspect of leading

the creative vision of the game and the studio (Total Mayhem Games) itself.

I also wrote, co-directed and edited a live-action series about the lore of our game called Chronicles of Castle Rock.
