Personal profile

Teaching experience

I teach a broard range of courses on the topic of play design, game design and design theory. 

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My teaching philosophy aims to inspire students to engage with both the practice of play design and the play studies literature to create a symbiotic relation between the hand and the head of the designer. I strive to teach with a contagious passion for the field and I aspire to lead by example by also using my own work actively in my courses.
