I was co-director-producer of Memoirscape, an experimental anti-escape room which centered cozy aesthetics and narrative elements. Our room was a standout installation at FDG 2024, was written about in Eurogamer, and was nominated for an award at IndieCade 2024.

2023
I led a talented team of my peers in the IMGD WPI graduate program in crafting an experimental escape room that combined cozy elements, unsettling narrative components, and intricate puzzles. Open to the public from December 4th-8th, our room featured analog puzzles, mini games, and even a 3D-printed time machine puzzle! The project has garnered press attention, as seen in Worcester Telegram & Gazette and Spectrum News1
