Digital Daydream

I am a co-founder and gameplay programmer for Digital Daydream, a small game studio that I was lucky enough to form with some friends. Check out our our website and play some games!

Here are some of the games I've contributed to over the years:


Conversations With My Anxiety is a short narrative game about a first date. Your conversations with your anxiety mid-date will determine the course of the date! I programmed this game and also did the sound design and music! This was made with my team at Digital Daydream Studios.


The Witchking's Gambit is a card battle game built for the Game Boy. The Witchking travels to the tower of sin to face their demons to win the ultimate treasure. The battles take place on a 3x3 grid. Take turns playing a card against your opponent. Each card that you play with be transferred to the opponent and be a choice for them to play on their turn. This game was made for the Global Game Jam 2022.


Cat Stranded is a challenging cooperative 2-player game in which 2 brave space-cats must work together to traverse through space debris and return to earth… all while tethered together. I programmed this game and also did the sound design and music. This was made with my team at Digital Daydream Studios for the Epic Mega Jam


Systemic Lives attempts to illustrate some of the racial disparities and systemic racism experience by black lives in the United States


Emojinal Van Hearts is a 2 player social guessing  game about a failing friendship that must be repaired by one friend driving their van into the others heart. The players are presented with an emoji and one player must guess the reaction of their friend. Enough correct guesses and the friendship is repaired and enough wrong guesses the friendship is obliterated. Literally.

Hidden History is a mobile game which tasks players with solving puzzles and physically exploring local landmarks of a city in order to learn the about the history and culture of the area. This was a prototype for what is now Amirabilia.


Memory is a short mystery-puzzle game made for the 2019 Global Game Jam
