I have been the creative director for two primary projects in my past; Awesomenauts Pro League – a professional tournament where I was ahead of the creative department, then soon full ownership over the organization while the owner was on medical leave.
GrandSchemeGames – a short endeavor when I was brought onto the team and I had my hand in animation, directing character creation, and as the creative director. The project disbanded but I kept in contact with many of my coworkers
I've used this website before back in my uni years where I would playtest others videogames –

Paid projects are preferred. Free projects really need to impress me and be for a "good cause". I'll let you interpret what that "cause" is and I hope you can translate that "cause" to me
Fan projects do not exclude you just for reference, just show me the true passion, comitment, quality behind your project then.I am open to editing your existing writing for you, and I am open to being your character illustrator too. Just contact me!
We can negotiate prices based off of your budget.
Now then, time for a little spewll of what I can bring to your team.

What I look in when I am viewing a videogame I study more than just what is in front of myself. I see how one individual element interacts with another, and try to understand why that was placed there. When I playtested games in the past on this website I fiddled around with every single option to ensure what was "working" did work and leaving no stone unturned. I am critical with every new element that my team presents to me and the rest of the project and focuses on both the negatives and positives that new element provides to the project as a whole. Embarrassingly, I've been told that I "practically burst at the seams with motivation" when I am invested in a project, and though I have no mirror to see exactly what I do, I know I go out of my way to make sure that everyone is up to speed and "feeling good" to ensure good work morale. However, just because I try to make everyone feel good does not mean I am not afraid to provide just criticism. As a creative director, I go out of my way to reach out to other departments to see how we can communicate the same ideas to one another, for I know that all of us speak different languages when it comes to our expertise. And lastly just a passing note, I do take in time and care to worry about disabled individuals in projects I partake in. I always try to make my work as accessible to as many individuals as I can, which I frequently find out makes things more fun – readable – and overall more enjoyable for even the able-bodied consumers.
Due to my academia, I am well educated in; art fundamentals, scheduling, office apps, and public speaking. I have experience in professional production with my time at a paint company called Rustoleum where I worked on it's media and advertisements – so I have an understanding of the "grunt work" that needs to go into projects in general.
My experiences; I've studied game theory – game design – and psychology recreationally, approximately 7 years of community management with 5 of them being a moderator so I know how to handle "personal/human situations" when they arise.
Topics that I'd happily advise the creative direction on; Disabilities with a heavy focus on ADHD – depression and PTSD, Golf, Fiction, Sci–Fi (and bringing hard science to your fiction), Artistic intent ( "I want my work to FEEL like X mood" ), Ensureing your lore (of any kind) is coherent and "solid" (with an example of my analyzing lore of other things in the past., and odds are many many more because I love studying and giving a helping hand out

If we do end up working with one another, I would appreciate it if you could write a review in this thread. It ensures my credibility with any other projects that I am on. I require a review if you are going to take my talents for free, however. Once again, thank you for your time and I hope I hear back from any of you!
