I Can Help With…

From NCsoft to Zynga, HTC Vive to Unity, I’ve been there and done that, having worked on games for almost every single platform. I may be vintage but I strongly believe in helping people who don’t look like me.

Why Me?

The games industry succeeds when we all succeed, no matter who we are or where we come or started from. More inclusivity, diversity and accessibility helps widen the appeal to all.
