Lily's Garden

Tactile Games, 2023-present

In 2023, I joined Tactile as the Story Director of their hit mobile game, Lily's Garden. The game balances match-3 gameplay with tasks to clean and make over areas. Initially, Lily inherits her aunt's dilapidated mansion and must restore the grounds in 30 days in order to fulfil her inheritance. Since the game's launch in 2019, the story has continued for 15 seasons (and counting!), following the ongoing adventures of Lily and her friends as they spruce up locations around the world.

I began my role with the launch of Lily's 11th season, and have overseen the story since then. I work with the writers, artists, and animators to bring each new season to life, from the high level to the nitty gritty details. With my team, I map out the overarching plot of each season, develop new characters, plan the locations, and communicate all of the upcoming art, animation, and SFX needs. From there, I plan the order and events of the scenes in each episode, and review the team's work at every stage to make sure everything fits together. I also work with other teams on additional gameplay features and side stories to ensure the narrative lines up.
