It was an honor to be asked onto the Community and Collaboration panel in London at the Play Creator Conference. Being able to open the Conference talking about what I’m most passionate about was amazing. Let’s continue to share resources and collaborate with other designers/publishers!

@thedarkimp.bsky.social did a great job interviewing me about the art of pitching tabletop games. I talk about my process, the essential skills designers need, and how to approach pitching materials. Enjoy!

Such a great way to kick off season 2!
I had a great time and a lovely conversation with @tokengaymer.bsky.social that's available now!
We kick off the second season of Proud to Gayme with Arwen Kathke, the host of @Cardboard_Time, a YouTube channel turned podcast. She reviews games and interviews guests, hoping to bring visibility to the human side of the industry through interviews and discussions.

It was great to talk about what’s happening in the game industry and how it’s personally causing me to lose game contracts as well as published games. Hopefully people enjoy the ramblings on my career and how it’s drastically changed over the past month with these increasing tariffs on China ❤️🩹
@tokengaymer.bsky.social talks tariffs, design, how the heck she juggles all her responsiblities, and more on tomorrow's episode of the Cardboard Time Podcast.
