Heya! I'm Tobin. I'm a game designer from Oakland, CA with 7 years of industry experience. As a designer I'm interested in meaningful interactivity and expressive systems. In my off time I cook, cycle, and try to learn languages at varying degrees of success.
I feel strongly that games can uniquely communicate ideas through their systems. Interactivity between player and game creates an implicit dialog that I find incredibly exciting. Everything from user experience design to hardcore statistical balance contributes towards how a game feels. It's in this space that I find the most rewarding creation to be.
(Oh, and that's Oakum in the picture over there. He's kind of a monster, but I love him all the same.)
