About

20+ years in games and consumer product. Lead Designer at Electronic Arts (2004–2011); created EA Playground (1M+ units). Creative Director at goodbeans (2011–2013). Co-founder and CEO of TreasureHunt (2013–2020): raised $8M+, licensed DreamWorks IP via Universal, sold assets to Huuuge Games. CEO of Mirage Labs (2022–2023), 150-person team on Meta Apes. Founder of Clayhouse (2023–present), building AI-native products.

I mentor two kinds of people: founders and product folks building with AI who need to get from idea to shipped, and anyone trying to break into or level up in games: designers, PMs, and first-time founders. If you're staring at a blank page, a half-built product, a fundraise, or a career move and you want someone who's actually done it (and made the mistakes), that's me.

My style is direct and practical. I'd rather help you ship one real thing than talk theory. Expect honest feedback, concrete next steps, and a standing partner in your corner.

Topics: Creative direction for games and consumer apps; Mobile game monetization and F2P economy design; Licensing film and TV IP for games (DreamWorks, Universal); Game studio fundraising and asset sales; Console game development and new IP at EA (Wii, DS); Web3 games and player-driven economies (Meta Apes, BNB Application Sidechain); AI-native app production and agent workflows; Indie game publishing on Steam.

If any of that sounds like what you need, book a trial call and tell me what you're working on. Let's figure out the fastest honest path to where you're trying to go.
