Kakarot is the latest of the Dragonball Z JRPG releases. It's one of my favorite franchises so getting to work on Kakarot was as rewarding as it was challenging.
I've always been a die-hard Vegeta fan and one of my main roles was to edit, direct, and localize his storyline. I quickly noticed the vast number of differences between the original Japanese and the English version us here in the west are familiar with. It only made me admire the character more. Working on Kakarot really opened my eyes to what an amazing narrative team can accomplish.

Octopath Traveler is a JRPG that boasts a unique blend of HD and 2D -oldschool and newschool. It's a really beautiful combination of the two with quick, strategic gameplay. I worked on the original version for Stadia & Xbox releases, as well as design & QA for the upcoming sequel.

Triangle Strategy is an ambitious take on the classic Final Fantasy Tactics style of gameplay. It was heavily inspired by Octopath, boasting similar visuals and playstyles. Roughly the same team that I worked with on Octopath, worked together to create Triangle.
