Hello, World! I’m Morgan, a writer by design and a jack-of-all-trades by necessity. My favorite stories to write are fantastical, emotionally complex, and humorous. They also always feature a punultimate joke. Below, you’ll find a collection of my professional work from over the past eight years.

Matchington Mansion
Role: Narrative Designer, Lead Writer
Do you want to know where my love of puns came from? Let me introduce you to Matchington Mansion! This game pundamentally changed my approach to crafting narratives. As the Lead Writer and Narrative Designer, I was tasked with crafting stories that balanced humor and emotionally mature themes. Decorating may seem like all fun and games until you realize how difficult it is to choose between two styles of throw pillows while also searching for a rampant raccoon and deciphering whether the handyman is flirting with you or the furniture.
While working on Matchington, I designed and led the narrative direction for two major map releases. I also wrote dialogue for both the main storyline and events (including major Adventure Events), designed multiple main storyline NPCs, and assisted with the visual design by researching and creating design documents.
Civilization: Rise and Fall
Role: Writer (Contract)
This was my first writing job in the gaming industry. I worked as a freelance writer on Civilization VI’s first expansion pack, Rise and Fall. Under the guidance of the team’s internal writers, I researched and wrote Civilopedia entries for Leaders, Countries, Units, Wonders, and more. Then, a few years later, I had the opportunity to rejoin the team to work on their New Frontier Pass. This time, I helped with the research and writing of the Civilopedia entries on countries and leaders, including Maya, Gran Colombia, Ethiopia, Byzantium, and Gaul, with many more! I am credited as an Additional Writer on this title.
Tales: Choose Your Own Story
Role: Writer (Sponsored)
I wrote and designed two choose-your-own-adventure stories for this app. The first one, Mirror Mirror, featured an isekai and a case of mistaken identity. Mirror, Mirror blended humor, mystery, and magic with a dash of Irish and medieval folklore. The second story, The Grove, was a morally complex tale about family obligation and what happens when you’re given the power to grant life and immortality… but only to a select few.
