I run the creative side of the studio and its production pipeline, directing the teams to ship games on time (almost!) and on budget (occasionally!), with over 5 million copies sold across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android. We work on our own original IPs and co-develop titles with other independent studios, as well as collaborate with larger international games companies on global projects.

Before I co-founded Lazy Bear Games, my partner and I ran a smaller indie studio that produced games for social and mobile platforms - on our own and in partnership with publishers. During this period, we released 4 titles (some of them are still in live ops).
