what i do for you:
I serve humanity by designing experiences
that champion physical culture.
Towards that purpose, I design iPhone apps and physical videogames, coach acrobatics, write books, and create paintings.
For 20+ years I've served as a cross-disciplinary designer.
I synthesize teams of brilliant engineers, writers, artists, musicians, producers and financiers,
with a proven track record of delivering world-class experiences
within the constraints of real world budgets and timelines.
