Picture
KB is an educator, writer, and creator of games about vaginas, including the award-winning (val)iant: or, val's guide to having a broken vag. In her creative work and research, KB explores how games and play facilitate learning about relationships, intimacy, sexual health, consent, and more. After completing (val)iant in 2023, she worked in the industry for a couple years before returning to academia. When she's not making games or teaching, KB is probably talking to people about the United Videogame Workers.

Other things KB is passionate about: women's soccer, animation, and Pokémon. She also loves crying and playing the piano simultaneously in a very dramatic way. Be sure to let her know what fanfiction you're reading right now.
​

✨Currently looking to collaborate with other developers, activists, educators, and scholars working at the intersection of games and sexual health education. Could this be you?
Let's talk!
