I was a Narrative Lead for the Omega Mart and Convergence Station projects. Click here for a listing of my contributions to these exhibits.
A selection of my screenwriting for the Omega Mart exhibit (packaged as Into the Source) was a finalist in the 2022 Las Vegas International Film Festival.
I also performed in and contributed narrative to The Garage, an immersive performance utilizing Magic Leap AR headsets that was named a top XR experience of 2019 by Forbes.
Your home will fade away. Your family will be remade. Your character will be tested. Your identity will be forged.
System: The Contribution is a sci-fi VR experience, created as part of the University of North Carolina School of the Art’s Immersive Storytelling Residency. I co-wrote and co-produced the piece, which had a showing at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in 2021.
Superfluxus is a point-and-click quest that fuses choose-your-own-adventure game mechanics, embedded video, text-based narration, escape room-style puzzling, and an engrossing story inspired by retro sci-fi tropes.
The piece—which I co-created with Seth Bockley—premiered online as part of the 2020 Pivot Arts Festival.
Combining video game with immersive performance, Intro to Being Here provides a transmedia experience of creating—and raising—a brand new being. Structured as a college course, audience members are first asked by their Professor to enter an alternate digital reality called The Platform – where they form a being, called a Content. Audience members meet their Content in the theater experience, which are played by actors (possibilities include Shark, Fire, and Empty Space). Through in-class exercises, they help their Content find their place in our reality.

FinalCon fused a craft fair with immersive performances that culminated in a sinister twist: the handcrafted goods sellers are actually part of a cult that now demands the sacrifice of a living person’s hand.
I created the concept and wrote performance text, in collaboration with Ink Tank, Dys/Mem, and Gwar. It was performed over Halloween weekend 2016 at The Museum of Human Achievement, and received an Austin Critics’ Table Award nomination.
