Software/E-Learning
I have experience working interactive software projects including the Metaliteracy Augemented Reality Quest (MARQ), A Kiosk for Rice University and The Muckleshoot Foundational Books. These are small projects where I worked directly with Subject Matter Experts to insure the appropriate learning goals were implemented in the system within their budget.
Leapfrog Learning Games
I produced (and designed) a number of licensed educational games for the Leappad. During the pre-production phase I would work with Leapfrog’s subject matter experts and producers to develop a game that met learning objectives, providing a fun experience for players within the projects’ scope. During production I worked with my cross-functional team to meet milestone deadlines, communicated with stakeholders to ensure the project remained in alignment and ensured my team was able to work efficiently.
Nintendo DS/3DS
My career began developing games for Nintendo DS, DSi and 3DS. I have experience in all phases production on this platform, including completing documentation for the submission process. I worked directly with outsourced QA and Localization teams to ensure that our projects met our delivery timelines.
