Personal Work
My name is Lindsay, and I create stories through words and pictures. I graduated from Simon Fraser University and also studied at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. I've worked at the indie game studio Anemone Hug Interactive, and recently wrote 600k+ words for I Was A Teenage Exocolonist. In addition, I regularly update two comics: How Baby and Motherlover.
Largely, I like to use my voice to tell more feminist, body-positive, sex-positive stories that often feature gender and sexual minorities, non-white characters, disabled characters, and unconventional relationships. I prefer partnering with writers, artists, editors, and publishers who strive to do the same.
I'm a nerd for tabletop and video gaming, cooking, geography, art books, organizing and interior design, and emergent internet culture.
I am looking for long-term contracts in game development, primarily in writing and narrative design. I'm particularly on the lookout for anything that fits the above, especially where it intersects with motherhood.
I'd sure like to work with you! Please contact me for information.
