Lead game designer and senior producer with 20+ years experience in games (played by millions of players, five-digit LTVs, retention of 10+ years) and industries like fintech and edtech. Earlier clients include Siemens, Nokia, BMW, MTV Europe, and FOX Studios. I work as a product owner as much as a designer. I don't just hand over a concept, I own roadmaps, prioritise backlogs, run ideation sessions, and stay through LiveOps. What I work on: UX and onboarding audits - finding where you're losing users and why, delivered as structured Miro reports with specific recommendations. Gamification strategy - progression systems, social loops, streak mechanics, and reward structures built around your retention goals, not generic best practice. Most gamification fails for a simple reason: badges and points don't change behaviour on their own. What changes behaviour is a well-designed core loop, the rhythm of action, feedback, and reward that makes users come back without being pushed. Product ownership - roadmapping, backlog prioritisation, cross-functional coordination from concept to launch. AI prototyping - rapid concept testing before you spend on full development. Concept development - product blueprints in Google Docs or Confluence, user flows in Miro, wireframes in Figma. LiveOps planning - event design, BigQuery/SQL analysis, seasonal content strategy. Tools: Miro, Figma, Unity 3D, Python/Pandas, SQL, BigQuery, Google Analytics. If your engagement or retention numbers aren't where they should be, that's usually a design problem in your core interaction loops. Feel free to get in touch.
