I had a great time listening to interesting presenters at the Board Game Academics Conference at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY this past weekend. It was a fabulous experience immersed in the history and current culture of board games and toys! #boardgames #tabletopgames #gamedesign

New mission statement: I believe in the human experience conveyed through placing paint.
My belief isn’t new - saying it in that way is new for me. #creativity #art #motivation #painting

This is the First Frost end-game card in Bloomline, a game I designed for 2 players ages 9 and up. “Strategically cultivate flowers, adapting to each new bloom.” It makes sense that gardening stops at a mark in the change of seasons. 🌸❄️ #boardgames #gamedesign #tabletopgames #artandgames
