Who I Am

A museum-goer. A trivia fiend. A watchmaker. An amateur furniture designer. A mild-mannered soccer hooligan. A NY transplant now based in LA.

Professionally, I'm a Senior Game Designer at Exploding Kittens, Inc, where I've worked for the last 6 years on tabletop and digital games across a wide variety of platforms. Philosophically, I'm a systems designer focused on approachability and expressivity. Creatively, I'm a mentor, a consensus-builder, and a problem solver who loves working with skilled teams across disciplines.

 

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

  • Survivor: The Tribe Has Spoken and its expansion Survivor: Let's Go To Rocks, both of which I co-designed with Jeff Probst and Elan Lee

  • Danger Danger/Chick Chick Boom​, a card game I invented that pits your team against another team, AND against 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)

 

On this website you'll find my portfolio, my resume, and a form to use to contact me directly. Please reach out – I'd love to collaborate, answer questions, and share new things to get excited about!
