Design Retreat and Knee-Jerk!

January 12, 2014

Back in December I met up with two of my friends from grad school on Orcas Island: Francisco, who works at Schell Games in Pittsburgh, and Aaron, formerly of PopCap San Francisco and Delectable. A generous friend of mine lent us his cabin for a few days, which turned out to be the perfect place for our first design retreat.

So, it’s official. I have parted ways with PopCap so I can pursue board game design on my own. I love the people of PopCap, and I will miss everyone there. It’s been great, but now it’s time for me to follow my oldest passion.
