I have written features and opinion pieces on gaming culture and video games for Gameranx, and video games often creep in to the music criticism that I write for Toronto Standard.

Throughout June 2013, I participated in Junicorn, a month0long game-making incubator run by Dames Making Games and hosted by Bento Miso. I am almost-finished a game/ piece interactive fiction entitled Restless as a result, and the creative process of working on this game with so many mentors was one of the most positive creative experiences I’ve ever had. I blogged about it for DMG here, and here.
