Simon's Cat Story Time
Embark on a brand new adventure with Simon's Cat, Kitten, more old friends, and a bunch of brand new faces. Discover what lurks beyond the garden walls, solve the secrets to untold history, and thwart the plans of a mysterious company and their own plans for the land.
As the sole designer on the project initially, I was tasked with developing initial design documentation for features, story, IP theming, and worked closely with the technical director and producer on many other aspects of the concept phase of development.
​
Heading into production. I worked with a repurposed visual scripting tool, similar to other projects at Tactile, in order to create the majority of cutscenes for the initial story chapters. As our project grew, we knew we needed some tools unique to our game to help with the situations that came our way, so I worked alongside the programmers to iron out and make the story creation process more efficient.
Once production picked up, we took on a designer from another project, in which I helped them get an understanding of the tools we used, and set up a design bible for us to follow for the project. We both then saw the project through to completion, as it became a key part in setting up the family category for Apple Arcade.
Simon’s Cat Story Time is available on Apple devices as part of Apple Arcade.
Lily's Garden
Romance? Garden? Puzzles? YES! Lily’s Garden is all this and so much more. Renovate the garden and solve challenging puzzles with this relaxing and romantic free match-3 blast game!
​
For this project, I took on the role of cinematic artist, and helped with the production of story scenes within the game. Working alongside a small group of cinematic artists, we worked closely with many disciplines (from artists, to script writers, to QA and everyone in between) within the company in order to put everything together; to create, polish, and release chapters for the newest game by Tactile Games. This is a live game, with updates coming every week.
We worked with a repurposed visual scripting tool in order to create what we needed. Along with the other Artists, I helped streamline the process by improving the tool, adding new features, and making existing ones more efficient for what we needed.
​
The game is available on the iOS app store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.
Penny and Flo: Finding Home
Love? Friendship? Mansion? Puzzles? YES! Penny & Flo: Finding Home has it all. Renovate the mansion and solve challenging puzzles with this new relaxing and fun FREE match-3 game!
​
This project flowed almost identically to Lily's Garden, in terms of production and what I did for the game. It was the former project that I jumped onto first. Around March of 2021, I moved from Penny and Flo, onto Lily's Garden.

The game is available on the iOS app store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.
