Consulting
I design, build, and operate interactive experiences by thinking through the full system they exist within — from player mechanics to operations and long-term sustainability.
What I do
I design, build, and operate interactive experiences. This includes:
- Escape rooms and immersive attractions
- Game show formats and live experiences
- Experimental and narrative-driven environments
- Interactive museum installations
Why me
I don't just design experiences. I run them.
That means decisions are grounded in:
- What players actually do under real conditions
- Throughput, timing, and operational constraints
- Business viability
