• "Open Dialogue Design: When NPCs Talk Back"

    I had the wonderful opportunity to share my discoveries and adventures in Open Dialogue on a panel presentation given at PAX West 2024.

  • Game Projects Portfolio

  • Research

    Game development has always been the nexus between technology, art, and psychology.

    Game design is the science of people, of learning, and of fun.

    Games show us who we are, not just as humans but as ourselves.

  • Graphic Design Portfolio

    I’ve been given many opportunities to collaborate with the wonderful game studios that come to DigiPen, and I always try to do justice to each studio’s work, style and impact. All in a succinct, clear flyer.

Hello! I’m Kieran.

Welcome to my website! Please have a look around.

About me:

I am currently a game design student in the Redmond area, working on my Bachelor of Arts in Game Design (BAGD) at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Some of my interests include:

  • Making games for everyone

  • Constantly asking my peers to playtest a prototype for me

  • Collecting cheesy old sci-fi novels

  • Making lists and crossing things off of them

A game about a strange world’s most insane and interesting telemarketer. You.

Outbound Sales is a game project based on the concept that a game can incorporate AI in a way that doesn’t replace or displace human design.


In fact, every conversation in Outbound Sales is structured and created by a real person, with each new experience as unique as the person designing it. AI is used by the designer to communicate directly with the player, in an open conversation where the player can say anything they want.
