My Skills

Game Design

Game Design is a skill set that requires an understanding of who your audience is, what they want out of a game and how you can both cater to their pre-existing comfort zones while also delivering a fresh experience. It's a skill-set that I take very seriously. A solidly scoped and iterative game design is the glue that keeps a project together.

Project Management

To date I've been responsible for managing teams of up to 5 people in both Mobile and Facebook projects with proven results. In larger scale productions I'm confident in being able to handle a lead or department position. I'm also completely comfortable with not managing staff if the project just needs a very dedicated game designer.

Product Manager at 6waves
While at 6waves, I worked with Chris on a game of his we were publishing. He is professional, friendly, and laser focused on what it will take for him to get the necessary polish into his games. He's passionate about gameplay, ux, and graphics polish. He is that rare blend of designer and producer (good at both), allowing him to take feedback and decide what needs to be acted upon and what can be deferred. I'd love to have a chance to work with him again in any number of capacities: colleague, publisher, or client.

Working as the lead developer on Chris' game projects was very enjoyable. He has the ability to keep the project moving along smoothly and making sure that all of the departments don't have communications breakdowns. His game designs are creative and unique and he is very good at tailoring the gameplay to meet market or practical requirements while still keeping the games fresh and fun.
