Work includes:

Voiceover scripts (bark sheets)
Prose hosted on League of Legend‘s Universe
Voiceover casting direction sheets
Character and worldbuilding decks and one-pagers
Short biographies featured in client and across promotional materials
Champion and ability naming

Skills include:

Collaborating with gameplay, visual, sound, and publishing partners
Pitching to gameplay leadership and creative directors
Writing across mediums, such as bark sheets, exploratory screenwriting, and prose
Drafting iteratively based off of interdisciplinary feedback
Implementing narrative materials in-engine

EVERY MARK
SHOULD HAVE MEANING.

The Champions team on League was where I cut my teeth—as a Rioter and as a writer in the games industry. Even since my intern days, the special feeling of working on a champion hasn’t worn off. It’s an honor to bring new characters, gameplay fantasies, and stories to players, and it’s life-changing to see them receive champs with love, in the form of innovative plays or gorgeous fanart. And of course, it’s deeply enlightening to collaborate alongside industry-best artists, designers, and creatives. Cheers, champions.
