Who I Am

A Few Disciplines. One Through-Line.

Third-year Media Studies student at Vancouver Island University, Audio/Visual Editor and Script Editor for Portal Magazine, and the founder of RavensTale Creative — an independent photography and content studio with an alternative gothic focus.

My work lives at the intersection of story and system. Whether I’m designing dialogue architecture for a tactical RPG, editing a literary journal, or building a Shopify storefront, I bring the same instinct: find the structure beneath the surface.

Portfolio

“A Fine Mess” is intended to be a satirical comedy approaching one of the many elements of modern dating that people tend to overlook when seeking a partner: their own self-worth.
Ostara, a celebration of renewal. A light to drive the darkness back for another season, and the signal of the oncoming bounty of nature.
A worldbuilding and narrative design project exploring what happens when modern psychological realism collides with a functioning magical society — and neither side comes out unchanged.
A fully custom, production-grade live stream experience built for Twitch. The Archive is a modular overlay ecosystem that transforms viewer engagement data into a living, reactive broadcast environment — built entirely from scratch using HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Streamer.bot automation, and OBS Studio.
Linen and light, whispers and water. Two hearts unguarded by the lake’s quiet mirror. A moment suspended between innocence and longing.
