Blog-troduction

Hi everyone!

Like most game designers, my creative tendencies and love of design started a long time before I had a company, self-created projects, or even would have called it a hobby. It started as a teenager, creating new worlds, stories, classes, and rule sets for Dungeons & Dragons…for Magic: The Gathering - creating new cards, sets, formats, and even an RPG experience…and creating a pen & paper RPG for my friends in High School to tell a story that didn’t work fluidly with the systems available back then. Here I am 15 years later and not much has changed! : )

3 years ago I decided to start creating an open-ended card & board based RPG for adults who did not have time for a lengthy Dungeons & Dragons campaign but still wanted that experience. That all led down a rabbit hole of various projects, ideas, and prototypes, which eventually led to the creation of Azure Horizon Games and the first project I hope to self-publish - “Kleos.” When not game designing, I have experience as a Marketing & Business Development Director, and wanted to put those skills to work on a passion project. I also hope to share those skills with the community.

This blog will be about my journey as a Game Designer, my thoughts and primers on Marketing, and any other topics that are on point at the moment.

I hope you enjoy, and always feel free to reach out or comment!
