Portfolio & Digital Garden
Moe's Frontmatters
Creative Producer & Writer
I've written narrative, dialogue, and world documentation for games, produced films, and built strategy for indie games and early-stage startups — content, product, and go-to-market. I also spent over a decade evaluating projects for a film fund, reading scripts, scrutinizing budgets, and assessing market viability. I'm built for teams that need someone who gets the whole picture.

Digital Garden — Notes on completed projects and works-in-progress through case studies, post-mortems, reflections, and observations, as well as random musings on the subjects that interest me.

Scenes
A nurse sits across from her surrogate father to draw his blood, a key ingredient in the sand wafers he uses to cure children's nightmares. But it's the morning after she discovered his secret lab, turning this routine procedure into a quiet interrogation about loyalty, change and the cost of careless words.
