Anything else you want to say about the kinds of projects or people or organizations you’d like to work with? |
I’m interested in community design and management, using games to spark creative thinking about technology and social change: museum people, educators (especially those working outside traditional classrooms), innovators and entrepreneurs all have important pieces of these puzzles. |

Games I’ve worked on: |
I’ve turned law students loose in World of Warcraft to build their own communities: does that count? |
|

3 games I’ve played that changed my life: |
Risk taught me there’s no such thing as the magic circle. Alter Ego got me to make peace with my childhood in a way therapy never did. WoW showed me there’s more to gamer culture than just teenage smack talk. |
