About
I have designed, built and successfully shipped things on web and mobile platforms for over 10 years, from early ➝ late stage startups, to client services, as a freelance designer, and co-founder of my own digital games studio. I've got a knack for:
- Product discovery → delivery
- UX design & research
- Game, play design
- Rapid prototyping
- Shipping software to end-users
