Featured Project
Forever soup, my current work in progress, is a cooperative legacy card game. You and your team must maintain a forever soup and feed the customers at your medieval inn. Every time the players beat the game the soup lives on, hopefully living on for decades like a proper forever soup. It was originally designed for the Bradley University FUSE showcase where it won the Golden H.A.M award for best in show. Now our team is working to improve it as a home game experience with hopes of publishing it by the end of the year.

About Me
Howdy, I'm Jacqueline, a Game Design major at Bradley University. I got into games after spending years participating in FIRST robotics. I love figuring out how games work, what keeps them balanced, and how to break them. Games have the ability to bring people together to tell a shared story and I want to help people tell those stories.
In my time at Bradley, I've worked as the producer on many team projects. While I enjoy being in a producer and game designer role in video games, I'm a big fan of tabletop games. Currently, I'm turning a class project into a passion project by making a company to publish my co-op legacy card game.
Outside of classes, I'm a member of the Bradley University Speech Team. I've carried my enjoyment of public speaking over to improv as the recruiter for Bradley's Barbeque Kitten Improv troupe. I've stayed in touch with my robotics roots by joining Bradley's Society of Automotive Engineers and mentoring my FIRST robotics team. All of these experiences give me opportunities for stories and skills that I can apply to all areas of my life.
