Narrative Designer – Project Astrid
Splash Damage
During this brand-new IP’s prototype/pitching phase, I created the project’s initial narrative direction and world-building. Work included back story, narrative bible, characters and theme. I was the feature owner for the world/writing narrative on the team and worked without a dedicated narrative lead on the level.
I also supported the team in creating pitch materials and exploring narrative delivery and implementation, championing a holistic narrative approach across the team.
