Background

My journey here began with two passions: games and learning.

For over a decade, I've worked in the world of eLearning and instructional design, always searching for ways to make education more engaging and effective. I found the answer in the tabletop role-playing games I've loved since childhood.

I started this business to bridge that gap—to use the power of collaborative storytelling to create experiences that aren't just fun, but are built with purpose. My goal is to craft adventures that help people connect, build skills, and grow, all within a space where learning feels like an adventure.
