Sequential Art
Time Fiddler | 2014-Present
This graphic novel/webcomic is where I first cut my teeth on visual storytelling, exploring themes of depression, travel, exploration, and romance, which ultimately catalyzed into a yuri/wlw queer romance drama.
Story: Sam is a young woman navigating depression as she enters adulthood, only to accidentally pass through a rift in time where she meets Carol, a time traveler with little regard for rules or authority despite her job description. Sam begins to fall in love with her new mentor, especially with how otherworldly she seems compared to Sam herself. Sam yearns for more, both of Carol and the new reality before her.

Game Development
“Before They Leave” was a small visual novel I developed in 2017 exploring depression and the perspective one might have feeling left behind as teen life comes to an end, watching friends leave your home town with bright plans for the future, and a few words and emotions left unsaid.
Story: Samantha Fiddler has been depressed for the better part of the last two years of highschool. She's barely scraping by, and nothing makes sense. She wants to go home and sleep. She feels guilty about everything... but for the time being she just needs to hold it together while hanging outside with her best friends.
This game was a submission for Yuri Game Jam 2017 on itch.io
