about me
I’m Jocelyn, a writer and narrative designer currently looking for work; you can find some examples of my writing on the “games” and “writing” pages. My most active current project is writing dialogue and events for Stardew Valley Expanded, the biggest content mod for Stardew Valley.
I recently wrapped up my time at Riot Games as an Insights Analyst, where I worked with our Central Player Dynamics team. I assisted with the data end of making sure that every player (and every kind of player) felt safe in our games. I am a staunch advocate for increasing and maintaining diversity in hiring, design, and representation in games.
Alongside my primary work at Riot, I have been fiercely and vocally dedicated to protecting the rights of workers and creating a more diverse future for games. I have been interviewed by a number of different press outlets about our organizing work at Riot during the walkout and beyond (including Giant Bomb at E3, The Verge, New York Times, Vice, etc.)
A shocking amount of my spare time is dedicated to FFXIV, where I head (with the help of a number of other people) an events organization called the Wandering Bole. We host community events and shows, concerts, and private events. We’re generally dedicated to finding ways to foster creativity inside and out of the game through music, dance, and performance.
