Welcome!
My name is Joseph. I’m an educated game designer and self-taught programmer, and this website is a showcase of my work.
I love working with my team members, empowering them to contribute their brilliant ideas, helping them transform those ideas into complete designs, and creating developer tools to accelerate bringing those designs to life.
Games
Begone Beast
A cooperative game where players play as children, plunging into spooky environments to banish dangerous horror-inspired demons. Armed with flashlights, snacks, and lots of screaming, the kids are the perfect cast to get to the bottom of these “Scooby Doo”-esque mysteries.

Rocococo ~ Audiogame Fantastiqué
An audio game designed to provide an immersive game experience to vision-impaired gamers.
