Blaze and the Monster Machines (Nick Jr.)

Script Coordinator & Writer (Season 5)

My work on Blaze taught me a ton about game design, of all things. Each episode features three “games” in which the viewer is asked to find a hidden object or select the correct answer from a series of options, and they’re even “playtested” by the Research team. For each episode, they bring prototype storybooks to preschool classrooms to see how kids react to the pacing and instruction.

All of this was a big inspiration when I wrote episode 516 “Video Game Heroes” (clipped above), where characters from Blaze’s new video game start wreaking havoc in the real world!

I also wrote episode 513 “Big Rig Blaze” which ended up getting a sequel in Season 6!
