I am kind of good at many things
Writer, machinist, singer, artist, mechanic when absolutely necessary

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

Just yesterday someone was nitpicking how I described my own painting, which is the cornerstone of my science art, in an attempt to be funny (I think?). But it was never funny or clever. It was just exhausting, confusing, and annoying. “I like this!” is one of the highest compliments, promise!

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

My friends and neighbors keep their jobs, and make better products than AI anyway

I've been a maker of stuff for a few years now but this is the first holiday season I'm making almost all the gifts I'll give out!

Seeing an idea in my head and making my point of view a reality! Is very cool!

I love making stuff I think everyone should do it
