Bio

I'm a games user researcher with a background in psychology and media studies. I've worked on a variety of games products and work to provide high quality, actionable feedback that benefits players and designers alike. The Games User Research community is something that I'm passionate about giving back to. I'm currently serving as the Chair of the Games Research and User Experience (GRUX) SIG of the IGDA, formerly an elected Steering Committee member and co-director the annual flagship #GamesUR Summit (2022).
