what i do for you:

I serve humanity by designing experiences
that champion physical culture.

Towards that purpose, I design iPhone apps and physical videogames. From time to time, I also coach acrobatics.

For 20+ years I've served as a cross-disciplinary designer. I synthesize teams of brilliant engineers, writers, artists, musicians, producers and financiers, with a proven track record of delivering world-class experiences within the constraints of real world budgets and timelines.
