Who I Am

A museum-goer. A trivia fiend. A watchmaker. An amateur furniture designer. A mild-mannered soccer hooligan. An east coast/west coast transplant.

Professionally, I'm a Senior Game Designer at Exploding Kittens, Inc, where I've worked for the last 5 years on tabletop and digital games across a wide variety of platforms. Philosophically, I'm a systems designer focused on two things in particular: approachability and player expression. Creatively, I'm a collaborator skilled in communicating across disciplines and getting people from different backgrounds excited and moving in the same direction.

 

In my time in the industry I've worked on some awesome projects: 

  • Survivor: The Tribe Has Spoken, a Survivor card game I co-designed with Jeff Probst and Elan Lee

  • Danger Danger/Chick Chick Boom, a card game I invented that pits your team again another team... and a hidden timer that'll blow you up

  • Exploding Kittens VR, Kickstarter's most successful card game brought to your living room through a VR headset

  • Many, many more (over a dozen video games and tabletop games)
