Hi there! I'm Erik, a passionate artist, game designer, and storyteller with over a decade of professional animation experience and a lifelong dedication to tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. I specialize in crafting and leading epic campaigns, sharing the magic of collaborative storytelling with players of all ages.

As a game designer, I’ve published tabletop games and developed a deep understanding of creating rules, balancing mechanics, and fostering engaging, interactive experiences. My professional background also includes a solid grasp of narrative design and world-building, skills that translate seamlessly into creating immersive adventures for players. Whether designing tabletop games or drawing inspiration from video game concepts, I love exploring how storytelling, player choices, and character development can create unforgettable experiences.

In every class I teach, my goal is to create an inclusive and engaging environment where students can unleash their creativity, develop critical thinking skills, and learn the art of collaborative storytelling. Whether we’re embarking on an exciting campaign, analyzing gameplay mechanics, or crafting unique characters and worlds, I’m committed to making every session meaningful and fun.

Dungeons & Dragons is more than just a game to me; it’s a way to build confidence, spark imagination, and forge lasting friendships. Whether you're new to tabletop roleplaying or a seasoned adventurer, I’m excited to guide you on a journey of exploration and discovery. Let’s roll the dice and see where our next adventure takes us!
