Amazon explore

Starting in January of 2017, I began working as a Narrative Designer on Amazon Explore, which was in a highly confidential R&D phase at the time.

Over the course of the project, I’ve used core, fundamental Narrative and Game Design principles to explore and develop a currently unannounced project within Amazon.

While on the project, I was promoted to Lead Narrative Designer in June 2018. This came with new responsibilities!

I was tasked with owning, to completion, both preproduction and production narrative design work. This spanned all different disciplines Amazon Explore, owning key internal and external collaborations.

I’ve served in about a thousand different capacities while on the team: Design Technologist, Prototyper, UX Researcher, UX Architect, Game Designer, Product Manager, Content Producer, Graphic Designer, Copywriter, Interaction Designer… But always, the core of my work has been in Story-Focused Narrative Design, and advocating for those principles using my strong technical skillset.

After the successful launch of Amazon Explore, I was promoted to Senior Narrative Designer in October 2021, as my role expanded into leading others and building this net new business into a totally new medium of entertainment, which I currently do day-to-day.
