professional experience
Game Knowledge: I have a devotion to board games with a collection of approximately 500 and years spent selling, studying, designing and (mostly) losing them. This deep interest has granted me a familiarity of game systems, their learnability and their application to many aspects of my life and design.
Versitility: I have always had a wide skill set rather than a specific focus and have prided myself on quickly adapting, learning and upskilling to fit any role previously unencountered. I have often become proficient enough in aquired skills to pass them on to newer team members.
