Hi, I’m Caitlin. Welcome to my website!
Gaming has been my passion since my parents gave me a grape Gameboy Color and a copy of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins to keep me busy during a childhood road trip. I have since turned that passion into a thriving career in game development.

- 13+ years in game development across QA, Project Management, Narrative Design, and Game Design
- Credits on over 30+ games
- Worked across a variety of platforms, including: Mobile, PC, and Nintendo Switch

- Worked with many original IPs, using my love of Narrative Design to build cohesive worlds, establishing distinct and enduring identities for these products
- My superpower is using a narrative lens to build holistic game design content and systems, creating immersive worlds that players will want to return to again and again
