Thanks for visiting Paper Rook. I make interactive narratives and stories you can hold in your hands.​​

​

I have worked as a props artisan, manager, or designer in various off-Broadway theaters, nightlife venues, and immersive installations around New York City. One time someone even sent me to Shanghai to do it. That was fun. I’ve painted wood to look like other wood. I know a lot about fake blood and kerning. 

 

I've crossed paths with a lot of amazing people over the years.  We've turned street trash into art, we've made giant scavenger hunts for strangers, we've glued rhinestones to things that were never intended to have rhinestones on them.

You know who you are.

 

Sometimes I am impulsive. I got an MFA in Game Design and used that time to explore interactive storytelling from a new angle.  I prodded at the magic circle with a stick and expanded my network in a new direction.  I wrote a terrible essay about feminism and chess.

​

Now I'm putting those things together- the rhinestones, the blood, the sexist chess- and making things that look a little like a game and a little like theatre.
