Hiya and happy #portfolioday!

I'm a game UX/UI designer with a focus on fantasy RPGs looking for opportunities.

4 cartoon style icons on a drawn stone texture background. Top left icon is a pen, top right is a potion, bottom left is a slingshot, and bottom right is a sword

Game HUD screen with a pop-up that says "you've equipped [item]!" and X continue. The Hud has a purple marbled boarder

The title screen of a game that reads "Fairytale Gothic" there is a purple gradient background and the silhouette of some mountains and a tower. In the bottom right of the screen text reads "New Game", "Continue," and "Settings", New Game appears to be selected

Item card for a mana potion. Text reads "Mana Potion" "Ability: Restores 15% of lost Mana"

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change, shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding, & support.

For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we're sharing resources for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available.

to the game devs that may see this: please give us the option to turn off motion blur as I'm sure there are people like me who cannot play a game with motion blur as it makes me feel sick and not having the option is a super bad feeling

A digital drawing made to look like a journal or scrapbook page, with photos and papers taped onto the page and the text "this is the perfect moment to start". There is a drawn polaroid of a cat, a drawing of some trees and a sun, a landscape and a heart and flower sticker.

Can I Play That? @caniplaythat.com · Jun 12

We first reported on Steam's accessibility tags in April, when it was available for developers to add to their games.

Now, Steam users can filter their search results by accessibility features. The tagged features are also visible on a game's store page.

Its really good for needing to be high energy in a meeting, and for not being as sleepy in the late afternoons, and for getting rid of extra antsy energy when I've been at the computer too long. But I don't keep it in standing mode any more than like 10% of the time

I fear that at all times I’m working on 3 entirely separate creative projects at once, and no one can stop me

It's time to PONDER fellas!

Redraw of the "Pondering my Orb" meme (featuring the art of illustrator Angus Mcbride for Middle-Earth Quest: A Spy In Isengard, a role-playing game based on The Lord of the Rings from the 80s.) The redraw features Crow Time characters looking at a blue shining orb.

I got too excited.

Given recent conversations in the industry, I wanted to highlight some amazing organizations, resources, and community-driven groups working hard to advance accessibility in gaming. There’s a lot of great work happening — and it deserves more visibility.

New article for my blog, just a little bit about my accessible design capstone project from my Take This Inc. mental health and games fellowship.

Accessible Dungeon Designer — Percival Kish

The latest from my fellowship on the intersection of mental health and games and my 2nd place project, a board game that teaches accessible game design.

One of my mentorship fellows @percivalkish.bsky.social pitched their capstone project: Accessibility Dungeons. A ttrpg dungeon crawler where making the dungeon more accessible (via IRL accessible design) is how you escape!
