Ahoy, I’m Syr!
I’m an immersive and interactive writer, producer, and creator:
I love collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to make the imaginary real.
I’m a writer of interactive narrative, theater, stories, and film, and an
immersive experience designer/producer.
I also work as an artist/writer coach and creative strategist
and lead speculative writing workshops.
I’m a musician, performing artist, and horror nerd.
I invite you to browse my writing samples and past work,
or explore this website and get to know me.
I’d love to hear from you. Reach out, let’s chat!
What I bring
Producer, Strategist,
and Co-Creator
I bring a background of leadership, collaboration, and systems thinking, most recently as the co-artistic director and growth strategist of Queer Cat Productions Theater Company, and as a producer on our films and shows.
I love collaborating across teams, defining timelines, supporting one another, and helping out with whatever is needed to bring the imaginary to life.
I am energetic, future-minded, and a natural problem solver.
Multi-disciplinary
& Multi-Genre
I have written across genres and mediums from live immersive interactive to prose, for a wide variety of genres from realism to romance to historical, and tones, from cozy to splatterpunk.
I especially shine with immersive interactive work and crafting accessible, consent-forward, and connecting audience experiences.
I am quickly at home in a new world.
I love scene setting, quests, dialogue, and barks. I can write a grant or press copy with as much heart as a love story, and I am skilled at finding consensus in a writer’s room.
Empathetic Teamwork & Leadership
I believe that the how of a collaboration is as important as the what, and that a joyful process makes a joyful product.
I am passionate about designing decentralized leadership structures, cooperative decision models, and people-centered work cultures.
I’ve been a lawyer, a bartender,
a fortune teller, a tour guide, and love working with a wide variety of people, from artists to engineers. I am adept at communicating across teams, holding many different needs and timelines, and when necessary, I am good at facilitating amicable conflict resolutions.
