Hi, my name is Josh! I’m a designer, storyteller and academic from Ohio. From a young age I’ve had a love for games and history, which I was able to combine once I began my college years at Miami University of Oxford, Ohio. Graduating in the spring of 2023 with a BA in History and a BS in Games + Simulation, I’m currently on the lookout for a job to break into the games industry.
Below are some recent projects, both collaborative and personal, separated into three groups: Designer, Storyteller and Academic. From there you can select individual projects and read about the challenges I encountered and what solutions I used to overcome them.
Under About you can find out more about myself, view my resume and look at my certifications.
