Indigo Brown

Hi, my name is Indigo Brown. I have recently concluded a five-year creative project developing an entire fantastical tabletop card game and am looking for an opportunity to work on a team that can share my passion for creating worlds, designing systems that inspire players, and producing memorable experiences for those who need it most.

When it comes to both digital and tabletop development, I have worn every hat from backend development to graphic design and marketing. These skills have extended into my current job at Sandia National Labs as I program, design UI/UX, manage projects, produce videos, and conduct trainings internationally depending on the week. 

However, my heart truly lies within game development as my side projects would run me deep into the night outside of my full-time job. To demonstrate my capabilities, please visit Strataugury.com, one of my passion projects that has been successfully funded through Kickstarter. I believe games can be a true expression of humanity and have become so important to so many people across the world.
