Skins reimagine the fantasies
of champions players know and love, placing them in new worlds and amplifying their in-game identities. As the lead narrative writer on several cosmetics products, I wrote to reinvent the theming and worldbuilding surrounding League’s characters.
Projects include:
- 2025 – Spirit Blossom Morgana (Exalted)
- 2025 – Masque of the Black Rose (Skinline)
- 2024 – Arcane Survivor Jayce (Legendary)
- 2023 – Battle Queens (Skinline)
- 2023 – Dragonmancers (Skinline)
Work includes:
- Voiceover scripts (bark sheets)
- Voiceover casting direction sheets
- Character and worldbuilding decks and one-pagers
- Short biographies featured in client and across promotional materials
Skills include:
- Crafting narrative wrappers to support visual direction and aesthetic changes to gameplay
- Worldbuilding alternate universes to keep League‘s IP continuous and fresh
- Pitching to cosmetic leadership and stakeholders
- Drafting iteratively based off of interdisciplinary feedback
- Implementing narrative materials in-engine
HOPES, DREAMS, FEARS, REGRETS—
I EMBRACE THEM.
Skins are always refreshing to work on: an opportunity to show players renewed love for their favorite champion, and to push the limits of who we believe our champs to be. They’re exercises in breadth and depth of genre knowledge (imagine this champ embroiled in political intrigue at a ballroom dance; now as a spirit inspired by East Asian myth!), and so naturally keep the worldbuilding chops sharp. But most inspiring is to see artists at work, translating champs into new and revitalizing expressions. You can’t help but write along for the ride.
