About Me…

My life and career have largely revolved around games and the thrill of being a kid. I enjoy playing games of all sorts: video games, board games, card games etc. And being a dad, I love being able to share that enthusiasm with my kiddo.

So what do I do? Well, I largely ideate, research, design and produce children’s digital experiences. My background in this field stretches waaay back to my days in academia where I studied the practical application of ‘serious games’ research to the design of educational and positive habit-forming experiences for kids.

On my journey I have had the opportunity to work with multiple brand IPs, bringing, working with fictional universes such as Teletubbies, Sony’s Hotel Transylvania, ReBoot and PBS Kid’s Wild Kratts and it’s been a blast.

Several years ago, I got the chance to lead a project that really allowed me to apply of all my prior work to something from the ground-up: Biba - a suite of mobile apps for families intended to encourage outdoor play on playgrounds. That journey culminated in Biba’s recognition by Time Magazine as being one of the best inventions of the year - a nice high point in my children’s design career.

Currently, I am the Lead Experience Designer for Osmo’s learn-to-read product, Reading Adventure - striving to make positive changes in the lives of children and their parents. I continue looking towards new opportunities that allow me to make a similarly positive impact.
