Writing &
Story Design
At the heart of every project, there is a story. And that story matters.
I started writing fiction the moment I knew (half) the alphabet, and I have never stopped since, gaining broad experience working in prose and poetry, for the page, the stage, and the screen. I love drawing character-focussed and meaningful narratives that engage and touch the reader (or viewer)—to be honest, I get a bit nervous if I haven’t been able to write for a while.
My heart belongs to tragicomedy and speculative fiction, but I am never shy to try my hands on a new genre. Likewise, while I have focussed on screenwriting in recent years, I have not given up work for the page, penning the occasional short story and keeping up work on my conworld—find updates on whatever project I am currently occupied with on Instagram, delve into The Seligonian to learn about my conworld (link over on the right to keep the page clean), or click below to find my screenplays and accolades!
Music &
Sound Design
Where words are the way to pass on hard facts, music can cut deeper and touch our emotions at their very base. It is the most direct way of speaking to the soul and at the same time a wonderful way of telling stories, perpetually on the edge between innovation and familiarity.
I have been composing since I was 14, always fascinated with film music. Like the great names in that tradition, I have tried to maintain the chameleon nature of the artisan who, while never giving up their style, manages to find the right voice for every assignment. I like to tip my toes into a different genre every now and then, writing for small and large orchestra and jazz band as well as electronic and experimental sounds.
As a freelance film and media composer, it is my goal to always find the right sound. Whether you need a classical symphony or a backing track for pan drum and gurgling water (yes I have written that)—I can help you find the sound of your project!
Conlanging &
World Design
Every story needs a space to live, breathe, and grow. And every storyteller needs a language to speak. Writing fantasy, I started creating my own conworld at age 13, and it is still growing (you can learn more about it on The Seligonian).
The years of experience working on this project have taught me about imagining nature and culture, maps of countries that don’t exist, the people that inhabit them, and, of course, the languages they speak. A member of the Language Creation Society and linguistics graduate, I have nearly 10 years of conlanging experience under my belt, creating over 60 fictional languages (give or take a few depending on how exactly you count) for both my conworld and paid assignments. No stranger to tabletop RPGs, my experience also extends into homebrewing and quest design.
Whether you just need a language or a whole living, breathing world (or anything in-between), I’m happy to help get it just write for the story you are telling!
