Hello! I’m Lynne, a writer & narrative designer with a strong interest in psychology, neuroscience, and biology. I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Interactive Media and Games from the University of Southern California. Before that, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science from Pomona College. My studies have included human anatomy & cadaver dissection, extremophile biology and exobiology, classic Greek myth, and Western philosophy.
I am fascinated by the intersection of gameplay, story, and player actions and motivations; worldbuilding and environmental storytelling; and how narrative can be presented through different aspects of gameplay.
Currently, I am a narrative designer at Bungie. You can see some of my work scattered throughout the mission/activity dialogue and in-game text in Destiny 2 (Lightfall, Final Shape, and an upcoming expansion), and Marathon (2025). In my day-to-day, I work closely with designers, engineers, art, audio, editorial/localization, marketing, and more.
