As a witch hunter, you make your way through the village of Ravenwicke discovering items, artifacts, and assistance in the most unexpected places. However, time is short. As ingredients are added to her cauldron, the witch gains power and tightens her grip on the village. Once all five of the ingredients have been added to the cauldron, the witch wins the game! So, it is of the utmost urgency that you find her before the last ingredient is added to her brew. Oh, and did we mention that one of you is actually the witch?
Witch Hunt is a table top card game for 1-8 players. I worked on this project with my immediate family; acting as the game designer and creative director. I also contributed much of background illustrations and character design... Although the actual character illustration was outsourced.

Muhammad Ali Center educational games
Online & Kiosk games
Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the Muhammad Ali Center hired me to design and produce six Flash-based online educational games that promoted diversity and cultural awareness.
Each game used trivia drawn from cultures around the world, letting players advance by answering questions correctly and learning along the way. The suite included an adventure-style game, a Concentration-inspired matching card game, a Jeopardy-style Q&A game, and a Train Challenge where correct answers “built” bridge sections in time to keep a speeding locomotive from plunging into a canyon.
That project was an early turning point for me because it brought concepting, visual design, animation, and game logic into a single workflow. Since then, I’ve intentionally looked for ways to apply interactive thinking—clear rules, feedback loops, and progression systems—to marketing and advertising work so the experience is not only well-designed, but genuinely engaging.
