I’m Ashley “Ash” Poprik and I specialize in writing memorable characters, snappy dialogue, and powerful stories.

I have worked with major studios including Disney, Marvel, Sony, and Activision. I am honored to be part of BAFTA Connect, Forbes 30 Under 30, and The Game Awards Future Class.

    — Armand Constantine (Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Guild Wars 2)

  • “Ash knows how to analyze a script or set of gameplay beats, point out what’s working and what isn’t, and propose constructive and creative solutions. She knows how to seek out and sift through feedback on her own work, and she takes constructive criticism as well as someone with many more years of experience under their belt.”

    — Mary Kenney (Marvel’s Wolverine, The Walking Dead: The Final Season)
