I’m Kezie

  • Monster maker
  • Experience designer
  • Storyteller
  • But you can call me Kez

I design stories you experience, from software to games that go beyond a screen. A persistently positive, third culture kid raised in six different countries, I speak, write, and help bring clarity to complexity to equip and encourage new perspectives in tech and beyond. Want to talk design, nerd out on tabletop games, or craft joyful side projects?

The Arcadia Report

Transform your city into an escape room. Your world becomes the game and locations can trigger text messages from the killer or real time mysteries to solve. The first on a platform for stories you experience.
