what i do:

I serve humanity by evangelizing physical culture.

Towards that purpose, I design videogames, teach yoga, write books, and create paintings.

For 20 years I've served as a cross-disciplinary designer. I wield a wicked talent for imagining, developing, and delivering novel forms of psuedo-magical experience for humans. I excel at creating lively real-time interactions between fast machines, clever software, and curious humans. I work with teams of engineers, writers, artists, musicians, producers and financiers, with a proven track record of creatively delivering world-class experiences within the constraints of real world budgets and timelines.
