Wedding Dash

My first game shipped! Wedding Dash is about a woman named Quinn that gets thrown into planning her friend's wedding. She gets so good at it that she gets hired to plan other people's weddings. Her responsibilities include picking out flowers, stopping fights, seating guests and making sure a room full of people get fed a 3 course meal. It is in the spirit of the bestselling casual game, Diner Dash.

The game is doing exceedingly well and getting rave reviews from players and even game critics. See our AP video and our Gamezebo Review.

While its great that my name is associated with a succesful title, it was not easy getting here. For my first project I couldn't have been assigned a tougher challenge. Every game is unique, but this one had its share. Everthing that could have happened did.
