Game Steward
I'm a game designer, writer, and editor living in Oakland with my partner and our two cats (who love swan diving into board games when they're not getting enough attention). I play just about anything: ttrpgs, tcgs, and board games—from crunchy econs to clever little trick-takers.
For me, games are special when they bring people together, make them interact in novel and taboo ways, then push them to creative expression and clever problem solving. My favorite game is perpetually the next new experience I'm about to try. I'm excited to do that with whoever is reading this!
