About & Contact

I like video games. But what I like even more is showing them off and engaging with the communities surrounding them! Especially when I get to use design and media.

Among my favorite programs to use are Photoshop, Premiere Pro, OBS, and InDesign. I can speak in front of an audience and operate in front of or behind a camera, as well as editing the footage with graphics and other fun elements.

I’m working on building a community of fellow gamers and Nancy Drew Clue Crew members on my YouTube channel: StoryRetold. Come watch my walkthroughs, playthroughs and how-to-solve-the-puzzles game tutorial videos!

This official game trailer for Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall is my all-time favorite game trailer I have made for HeR Interactive, Inc. This trailer included company branding. Other created videos for added engagement include vlog-style informational, green-screen, stop-motion, digital ads, YouTube and Twitch live streaming.

Calina Herman's puzzle creations.

 

As a professional blogger, I also added “weekend puzzles” and mini-mysteries for readers to attempt to solve, then shared them from the blog to Facebook and Twitter.
