I’m a narrative worldbuilder focused on creating stories that feel lived-in, emotionally real, and quietly immersive. My ongoing project, Riptide, is a connected story universe inspired by xianxia and mythic cultivation traditions, reinterpreted through a grounded, character-focused lens. Rather than centering spectacle, the setting explores personal growth, transformation, and the subtle ways myth and daily life intersect. The universe is designed to hold many different tones and perspectives while sharing a single underlying cosmology. Each project exists as part of that larger current, contributing to a world that evolves through its characters and stories rather than standing still. I’m drawn to restrained storytelling, natural performances, and strong atmosphere over exaggeration. The goal is always the same: build worlds that feel present enough to step into, and characters that feel real enough to stay with you.
