Position involves creating gameplay design, evolving of characters and stories, upholding the creative vision of the game production and managing project schedules and employees. Titles worked on: Global Conflicts: Latin America (concept, content, design, project management) The follow-up title to Global Conflicts: Palestine and the second chapter in the award-winning series.

Maya's Adventure (concept, design, project management) The first of a series of Christmas Calendar games developed with Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke and Danida. This one sheds light on the problems of lingustic barriers in Guatemala where the indigenous Maya population often has trouble with the Spanish-speaking population. The Time Machine (concept, design, project management) Developed with Experimentarium and freelance designer Michael Valeur, this game puts you in the shoes of a young child who travels back in time to meet the father of evolution theory, Charles Darwin. The game seeks to inform about evolution and the life of Darwin. Playing History (concept, design) The Playing History game series places you and your students in historically significant and interesting time periods, where you will get the chance to experience history in the making. Nykredit: Employee Training Game (concept, design, project management) We proposed a simple and fun alternative reality game that engages new employees in the company and its culture. The Phoenix (concept, design, project management) Project involved the development of a game-based solution in which players (young school children) experience the consequences of restraining and promoting cultural diversity.
