Hi there! I’m Mike. Thanks for stopping by. I’m passionate about writing and design, and I love what I do.
Good work is like music, and I strive to make work that sings. I play best with others – if your band of creatives needs a writer, I’m your guy. Drop me a line!
EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS
My pre-creative life built the skills that would become my superpowers. Here’s how it all fits together:
As a teacher, I learned to:
- Simplify complexity
- Negotiate and communicate
- Lead with empathy
- Adapt on the fly
Across 150+ shipped games, I:
- Led creative and art direction
- Wrote rules, creative, and packaging copy
- Made sense of poorly translated technical docs
- Managed UX writing, QA, and project management
As a “forever DM,” I:
- Bring storytelling, strategy, and trust
- Solve problems in the moment
- Improvise and adapt with purpose
- Lead groups through chaos
Journalism and psych interviewing taught me to:
- Ask questions that matter
- Quickly identify core issues
- Listen between the lines
- Guide with clarity
- Get the most out of AI
