About

Horror that the audience decided

Working in a new interactive television format, the MILE (Massively Interactive Live Event). I authored 50+ interactive decision spaces for this real-time horror series, while designing for an audience that had collective voting power over the story's direction. I also designed a custom narrative tracking system that improved stakeholder visibility and reduced approval cycles by 40%.

Silent Hill: Ascension won the 2024 Emmy Award for Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media Programming.
