Current
Role:
As WayForward’s Creative Director and Lead Designer, I’ve spent 10 years in
the industry developing games and gaming brands for PC, console, and handhelds. I've
designed and directed over 50 titles, most of them commercially successful and
critically acclaimed, with average reviewer scores 8/10.
Having a knack for finding the elusive “fun factor”, I have led
WayForward’s growth as a gaming company, and established a reputation for high
quality titles with great characters and gameplay.
Responsibilities:
As WayForward’s Creative Director I am an ongoing student of gaming trends.
I help set long and short term goals for the company, and assemble and
train production teams to meet them. My
mission is to develop games that are fun, on time, and under budget.
