🍑 Welcome!

Hello–I’m so glad you’re here!

Welcome to Saturn Peach, a newsletter about play & creativity. I send a newsletter most months with a personal essay, announcements about my work, and a list of things I've been enjoying.

About the Newsletter

I’ve named this newsletter after my absolute favorite fruit: the Saturn peach. Also called the flat peach, donut peach, UFO peach, custard peach, wild peach, white peach, squashed peach, or bagel peach, this fruit is flatter and sweeter than your regular yellow varietal. There’s something so interesting about calling it the Saturn peach, though; the combination of celestial and terrestrial, huge and tiny, delights me.

Like a Saturn peach, the work I share here will be small with a hint of strange. Over the past year or so, I’ve been honing my game design skills, experimenting with different ideas and formats, and learning more about my personal design style, and I’m excited to share the results with you!
