About

Hi, I’m Bobby Lockhart, a game designer and creative leader focused on educational and family-friendly experiences. I lead design teams, balance systems, craft visual GDDs, and prototype across platforms, from web and mobile to Roblox.

Over the years, I’ve built Ozaria at CodeCombat, collaborated on fields like journalism, marine ecology, and executive function at Field Day Lab, and founded Important Little Games to bring playful learning to kids and families. I thrive mentoring designers and turning ambitious ideas into engaging, accessible games.
