I am a writer, artist, and language creator living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in Atlantic Canada. You may have encountered me or my work in one or more of the following (from most recent):

• On the Inner Workings of Language Creation: Using Conlangs to Drive Reader Engagement in Fictional Worlds, with Anthony Gutierrez and Nicolás Matí Campi: a chapter in Reading Fictional Languages by University of Edinburgh Press, based on two paper presentations we presented at the University of Nottingham’s Symposium on Reading Fictional Langauges in March of 2021. Published December, 2023.
• Language Creation Society (LCS) Board of Directors: I was a director on LCS’s Board from 2015 to 2023. During that time I also served as Manager of Memberships from 2016 to 2019, and for most of 2023. I declined to run for reelection in 2023, and I am no longer affiliated with the LCS in any official capacity beyond general membership.
• Pulse: Book Two, by B.A. Bellec: I worked with the author to construct a language for the second book in the Pulse series. Published September 2023. (More to come in Book Three: Stay tuned!)
• Glow, a comic series by MythWorks, Inc. I was hired in March of 2021 to expand and curate their language Nymeran for future editions of the series beginning with issue #5 (released February 2023).
• A Recipe for Language, an article and radio documentary by Andrea McGuire which aired on CBC’s Atlantic Voice in March 2021. I was interviewed about the intersectionality of constructed languages and queer identity. Article and Radio Doc
• Pilots of Gallaxia, a board game by Stefan Rasporich and Infinite Mind Pictures, Inc. I was hired in 2018 to create a constructed language, Grayis, for the game, which was released in January of 2020.
• Conlanging: The Art of Crafting Tongues, 2017 film by Britton Watkins and Josh Feldman. I was interviewed for and appear briefly in the film discussing my own language projects and the work I do for the Riddlesbrood Touring Theatre Company.
• Riddlesbrood: The Greatest Brochure in the World, by Clyde P. Riddlesbrood. I translated the passages and phrases (including much of the cover art, which is quite verbose) and consulted on character names. This is part of ongoing work I have done with the Riddlesbrood Touring Theatre Company since 2014 to expand and curate their language Brooding.
