Hi there! I’m Joey, a studio head and gameplay designer with a passion for building engaging, player-focused experiences. I love leading cross-functional teams, prototyping fast, and blending technical momentum with creative vision to ship games and interactive simulations. I’m always exploring how to make games more accessible and immersive, from robust multiplayer systems to thoughtful UI and visual design. When I’m not coding or designing, I’m thinking about how to streamline workflows, mentor teammates, and tell compelling stories through gameplay.…Hi there!
