About
Narrative designer and writer with professional experience crafting stories for interactive entertainment. Formerly on the narrative team at Red 5 Studios for the MMO shooter Firefall, where the work spanned in-game lore, character dialogue, and collaboration with professional voice talent.
The mission is straightforward: give players something worth caring about. A character with a real voice. A world with real stakes. Get that right, and the gameplay becomes something they'll remember.
Tim is also a photographer. See his work at BurstsofLight.com.
