I’ve designed numerous tabletop role-playing games and have run a number of successful kickstarter campaigns. Highlights include Oubliette, a Fate-based dark fantasy RPG, Heroines of the First Age, a PBTA high-fantasy RPG, and Ex Eradicus, a dark-fantasy skirmish game.

You can find my games at my business’s website: Voidspiral.com

The games I like to make usually start with the aesthetic of the story I want the game to tell. I usually then map out what components I would need to articulate that aesthetic, from rules to lore. Sometimes that means I can use existing rules systems, other times that means I need to build something from scratch that really speaks to the aesthetic of the project.

I do almost all the illustration on the products my company (Voidspiral) sells.

I’m available for commission. Check out the store to commission me, or get more info here.

I have a number of different styles I work in, as you can tell from my portfolio. Some may call me unfocused, but I see myself as a realist who needs to execute a lot of different projects. Working artists rarely get to stick to one style for their entire careers. I’m just working to the brief.

I’ve written hundreds of thousands of published words in the RPG and world building genres. See some of my work at Voidspiral.com.

Not only to I love writing about worlds, characters, villains, and events, I also enjoy writing adventures and running them myself.

Years of working with clients and running TTRPGs has trained me to be very specific in my writing, and I usually pay a lot of attention to word-choice, sentence structure, and punctuation in my work, because the nuts and bolts make a huge difference on how the reader feels while consuming the end product. A lot of people don’t think enough about the “feels” and “vibes” of the rules and the lore of the RPG content they create, missing a huge opportunity to draw the reader in even more. Nevertheless, readability has to come first.

I’m a classically trained graphic designer. It’s actually what my main undergrad degree is in. It should be noted that this happened in the era of Print Media. I may not be the biggest, most up-to-date or most stylish designer, but I still care that my products and business have a cohesive identity. I still love some good typography, which is ever harder to come by these days.

My old-school print-media background has helped me design and produce numerous books, mostly RPGs, all of which I think look fantastic. I’m a strong proponent of indices, glossaries, footnotes, page references, and links in my books, particularly in PDFs, where links can actually be clicked.

Hot Take: Any RPG book that doesn’t have a table of contents and an index is incomplete. It’s 2025 for crying out loud.

Hot Take The Second: Any bestiary or monster manual that doesn’t have multiple ways to organize the critters is garbage. Lists, baby. Do it.

I’m a self-taught developer with skills in web dev, app dev, and windows software development. For example, I’ve built a web app to help users design their own games using the RPG engine I’ve designed: Spiral Game System, and I’ve written a couple Unity based apps, one of which is a dice roller I’m trying to get published. Devops is frustrating.

I spent some time in the software industry as a User Experience / User Interface designer, and that has informed a huge amount of my game design and graphic design philosophy. I try to design all my systems around the humans that use them, not the other way around.

I’m also an avid maker. I do cosplay costumes, 3d printing, sculpting and design, and also hand-made dice.

Eventually, I’ll add a blog to the website and so I can share some of the things I’m working on.
