Appearances

I have years of teaching experience, and I enjoy contributing thoughtful, content-heavy panels with many examples and images.

Previously seen...

"If You'll Excuse Me I Have a World to Save... Again:" a Dragon Age series retrospective (13+), PAX East 2025, with Alexandre Abdoulaev and Caitlin Farthing.

The "Dragon Age" series spans sixteen years four games and multiple multimedia spinoffs. This panel will be conducting a deep-dive scholarly analysis of this iconic Bioware series exploring its ludo-narrative design elements in an attempt to determine what contributed to the series' lasting appeal as a fan favorite. Among the elements this panel will analyze will be the visual and artistic design; fashion design; music and scoring; writing (both character and story); and user interface and back-end design.

Cosplay from Video Games: From Research to Results, PAX East 2024, with @rocinantecosplay, @jammthejedi, @angualupin, @sittestarscosplay, and @lazcosplays.
