As one of two narrative designers and educational video writers, my contributions included:

  • Establishing the voice and tone of the narrative.
  • Designing interactive educational features.
  • Weaving stories around science content lessons and educational games.
  • Partnering with artists and designers to create 9 levels, 4 worlds and a dozen original characters.
  • Writing cutscenes/cinematics
  • Establishing voice/tone of educational videos, as well as penning over 15 original scripts.
  • Working with curriculum writers, game designers and programmers to create educational games that both teach concepts and are integrated into the narrative.
