My first job was as a Quality Assurance Software Engineer (tester) for Infocom. I'd played all their games and was a huge fan. They were based near where I was living after graduate school and I met someone from the staff. We hit it off and he called me when they had an opening for a tester. It was like a dream come true. I'd test games in production, record bugs, make design suggestions, create "online" hints, customer support, write user manuals.

After testing at Infocom, I took a detour as a systems designer for customer support software. At Boffo Games, I was the first and then Manager of QA. Over time, I became more involved in design and made significant contributions to The Space Bar in writing, design and programming.

From Boffo, I worked as a designer for CogniToy, makers of MindRover. From there, I went on to GameFX (a studio of THQ) to create their QA department and then to become a Designer/Producer.

When GameFX was effectively shut down, I moved on to Turbine Games where I was the Lead Designer and then Creative Director for the sequel to Asheron's Call. After a stint with MMOs for Ubisoft (URU primarily) and the Walt Disney Internet Group (Toontown Online & PotCO), I worked with the folks at 42 Entertainment on Last Call Poker, an ARG for the release of Activision's GUN.

In 2007 she is the online designer for Disney Interactive Studios.
