Moin! I'm Matt - freelance narrative and game designer, author & consultant from
Hamburg
I write games, audio-plays, and kids' novels and comic books. In my work, I combine emotional storytelling, precise planning, and compelling narrative structures.
I create original stories and characters as well as adaptations of existing licenses in English, and my native language German. I am highly experienced in
coordinating production schedules and complex projects. As a creative lead, I have worked with small indie teams as well as teams of more than 40 members.
I am always looking for creative challenges. If you are searching for a
writer, narrative designer, creative lead, production consultant or translator (English > German) for your narrative project
