Dragonjar Studios / Yokai: Redacted Narrative Designer | Active
Dragonjar Studios is an independent studio developing Yokai: Redacted, an original anime action open world game rooted in Japanese mythology.
Contributing to the project as a narrative designer, with work spanning creature systems writing and world building. The Shadowthorn Panther ability sheet involved developing attack names, descriptions, and behavioral flavor text to give the creature a distinct mechanical identity while keeping it grounded in the game's mythology and tone. Every line had to tell the player what the creature does and make them believe it belongs in this world.

Riya / Character Design Spec Narrative Designer
A full character sheet for Riya, a botanist's apprentice in a steampunk world — background, personality, relationships, and voice notes developed as a standalone narrative design.
The design goal was to resist the obvious. Riya is shy, uncertain, and still finding her voice. Rather than treating that as a flaw to overcome, the sheet builds her arc around shyness as a narrative asset. She's not a hero in waiting. She's someone most of us would recognize.
