Welcome!

I’m David, a game designer with a technical background and a passion for gameplay and feel! Here are some of my design philosophies:

Design takes Empathy. Empathy and understanding helps us design for audiences larger than ourselves and our bubbles. Discerning what players feel is sometimes more important than what they say, including ourselves!

Ideas come from Everyone: Design does not own idea generation. We are responsible for curating, filtering, and fitting ideas together with each other, but good ideas come from all places: on our teams, from our players, from other games and media, from life.

Players need Something to Love: Players connect closer when they find something they love. Players can more deeply connect to a game that has 4/10 bits and 10/10 bits for them than a game that is 7/10 or 8/10 throughout.

Diamonds in the Details: Putting love and care into the little things across all disciplines matters. A tiny portion of players will notice any one specific details; but, all players will notice some detail, they’ll just each notice different details!

More in depth information on past projects can be found in the various tabs above, thanks for visiting! :D
