I help teams turn early ideas, rough builds and complex systems into playable, testable and easier-to-explain products.
Choose a focused review, a prototype sprint, a workshop, or ongoing design support.
A structured review of a build, prototype, onboarding flow, feature, tool or player journey.
You get a clear read on what is working, what is confusing, and what to fix first.
Turn an early mechanic, tool, learning loop or interaction model into something playable and testable.
Useful when the team needs to test an idea before committing production time.
Ongoing senior design support for teams that need direction, critique, prioritisation and momentum without hiring full-time.
Ideal for teams that need consistent design leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire.
For teams preparing a publisher demo, investor update, grant pitch, milestone review or public showcase.
The goal is to make the project easier to understand, evaluate and believe in.
Live sessions, custom learning formats and curriculum development for studios, colleges, accelerators and industry programs.
Designed to equip teams and individuals with practical skills and insights.
A flexible session for questions that do not fit neatly into the other formats.
I work across design, prototyping, technology, visual direction and education. That helps me move between strategy and implementation, and helps teams make decisions they can actually build from.
Core loops, systems, onboarding, progression, economy, UX flows, player motivation and product clarity.
Unity, Godot, GameMaker, JavaScript, creative code, frontend thinking and prototype-minded engineering conversations.
Visual direction, interaction feel, storytelling through play, world-building and making systems legible.
Testing assumptions quickly through playable sketches, tools, flows, paper exercises and small interactive builds.
Design for children, learning goals, feedback loops, progression, curriculum constraints and classroom-friendly formats.
Critique, documentation, workshops, team alignment and making design decisions easier to discuss.
A recurring part of my work has been entering projects early, when the product, system or experience is not fully clear yet.
B2B tools and UX for operator-facing products, including analytics, data flows, communication flows, visual systems and frontend implementation.
Games for the Osmo platform for children under 10, moving from early concepts through prototypes, playtests, learning goals, hardware constraints, interaction design and production handoff.
Design leadership inside the New Games Group, taking multiple games from early idea and MVP through prototyping, validation, economy, progression, UX, content systems and scale.
Founding team work on a PC/console game and studio, shaping creative direction, product vision, systems, tools and player experience from the ground up.
I run live workshops and custom course formats for studios, colleges, accelerators and industry programs. I can also work with partners to develop recorded courses, self-paced material or curriculum programs.
Learn game design through small playable exercises, critique and iteration rather than abstract theory alone.
Prototype decisions, test assumptions, build just enough, and avoid spending months on the wrong version of an idea.
Make systems understandable through flow, feedback, pacing, language, affordances and player-facing design.
Structure playtests, read feedback, separate opinion from evidence, and help teams learn from the game itself.
A few parts of my career that are especially relevant for teams looking for senior design, UX, prototyping, education or advisory support.
Lead and senior roles across mobile games, children’s learning games, indie games, interactive installations and PC/console sandbox work.
Long-running work as educator, mentor, organiser, speaker and curriculum builder across Indian and international game development spaces.
Author of Developing Turn-Based Multiplayer Games with GameMaker Studio 2 and NodeJS, plus long-time writer, speaker and explainer of game design, UX and creative technology.
Independent games, tools, utilities, prototypes, procedural experiments and web-playable work that show how ideas become testable artifacts.
A call works best when there is a concrete thing to look at: a build, deck, document, prototype, problem statement or decision the team is stuck on.
Early-stage games, playful tools, learning products, UGC systems, onboarding problems, prototype questions, pitch demos and teams that need senior design judgment.
Pure production outsourcing, art-only execution, code-only implementation, generic hiring replacement or projects where the design direction is already fully fixed.
Bring a build, deck, prototype, problem statement or rough idea. In a short fit call, we can look at what is stuck and decide whether an audit, sprint, workshop or retainer is the right shape.
