About Speaker

I love hosting game jams & tabletop RPGs, trying new games, procgen storytelling, voice acting, lil buddies, and sending postcards. Happy to be back at IndieCade after my participation in the Collectives and Development Communities panel and Community Building in PDX award in 2014! I'm a community organizer, game designer, and studio producer. In 2011, I founded the Portland Indie Game Squad (PIGSquad) to create a gamedev-centric, community nonprofit to help developers meet and make games together in the Portland area. Since then, I've continued as the president of the nonprofit, co-founded Pixel Arts Game Education to provide games learning resources to underserved youth, and co-founded Rose City Games - my current studio endeavor. My most impressive stats include hosting 48 game jams, voicing 23 Dicey Dungeons characters, and completing 17 Resident Evil 4 casual runs. https://www.twitch.tv/pigsquad
