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.
