I am a game designer by trade, and spent 15 years working for companies like Electronic Arts, Maxis and Digital Chocolate. For the last 12 years I have been consulting as a game designer and innovation expert inside and outside of the video game industry.
For the last eight years I have been working with the Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford as Game Designer in Residence. Within this lab I also co-founded the Game Design Thinking research group. I also teach at Stanford and am a curriculum designer for the Peace Innovation Institute in The Hague.
In my spare time I volunteer with local groups such as Girls Inc.
