Hey, I’m Astro — an aerospace engineer who never outgrew his love for fantasy worlds.

I started Astro Artificer because I hit the same wall so many busy adults do: I loved tabletop storytelling, but the prep, logistics, and mental clutter kept draining the joy out of it. Between a demanding career building spacecraft and the whirlwind of everyday life, my creativity was getting buried under everything except creativity itself.

So I built the tools I needed, simple, powerful, engineering-inspired systems that cut through complexity and help players and DMs get back to what matters: imagination, clarity, and community.

Astro Artificer is my way of fusing both sides of who I am:

the engineer who loves structure, and the dreamer who loves worlds filled with magic, mystery, and adventure.

If you want the full philosophy behind this project, why I believe adults need spaces to play, why creativity is a form of self-exploration, and why community is the antidote to modern isolation, you can read the Astrofesto here.

For now, I’m just glad you’re here.

Let’s build something incredible together.
