Tales from the Tape Deck
Tales From the Tape Deck is an innovative narrative-driven tabletop RPG that blends retro nostalgia with immersive storytelling. In this game, players explore mysterious stories uncovered through cassette tapes, combining audio cues with traditional roleplaying elements. For this project, I contributed to the visual design and layout, crafting a distinctive aesthetic that captures the vintage vibe of the 80s and 90s while ensuring clear, user-friendly materials. The design balances atmospheric graphics, thematic typography, and intuitive organization to enhance player engagement and ease of use. This project highlights my ability to blend storytelling and design in emerging RPG formats.

The Howling Blade
Project Manager for Kingdom of Keshanar, a record-breaking 5e campaign setting inspired by Ancient Egypt, I led the coordination of a global creative team to deliver over 350 pages of original TTRPG content, including a 200-page sourcebook, full campaign module, and an immersive 3D map built in Unreal Engine. The project raised over $400K on Kickstarter, exceeding its goal by more than 2,000 percent. I managed timelines, team communication, asset delivery, and BackerKit fulfillment across digital and physical products. My leadership ensured smooth collaboration between writers, artists, developers, Egyptologists, and manufacturers, driving the campaign from concept to large-scale production with cultural authenticity, creative excellence, and operational precision. Graphic layout for The Howling Blade, a dark and gritty Mörk Borg pamphlet. The design emphasizes stark contrasts, bold typography, and atmospheric imagery to match the game’s grim and chaotic tone. I created a modular layout that balances readability with raw, edgy aesthetics, ensuring the pamphlet stands out while remaining easy to navigate for players and game masters.
