About
I am a game director and lead designer with 20+ years of AAA experience across Ubisoft, BioWare, Visceral, and more. I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-profile titles and I blend creative leadership with hands-on technical craft.
I specialize in mentoring designers, building balanced systems, rapid iteration through playtesting and data, and collaborating with publishers and developers to ship engaging experiences such as Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Dead Space 2 & 3, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
