Level Up Journal - Issue 01
This is the first issue of Level Up Journal — my cozy zine where I explore play, creativity, and the little rhythms shaping my inner world. Save File 01 includes a deep dive into cyclical gaming, reflections on the games I played this month, a photo collage, podcasts I loved, and a Co-op Mode question for you at the end.

Level Up Journal - Issue 02
This issue is titled Permission.exe, and it grew out of a question I couldn’t stop circling: Why does play sometimes feel like something I have to earn? Inside, you’ll find a deep dive on permission and rest, reflections on the games I’ve been living in lately (Dragon Quest XI S and Animal Crossing), my version of a game “review” in the form of a letter to Donkey Kong Bananza, and a collage of delightfully out-of-context Dragon Quest quotes. At the end, there’s Co-op Mode, where I invite you to reflect on your own relationship with gaming time.
