GET YOUR TICKETS QUICK!! So excited to be at the Steppenwolf theatre next month :-) it’s definitely a tick off the bucket list! Uncanny Attic is a silly, morose, gothic romp - you will not believe your eyes!

Giving a lecture to a high school class on board game design and production! It was seriously so much fun! It started off with about an hour of a presentation I made on game theory, genres of games, and some game heuristics followed by them pitching ideas for their upcoming game and workshopping!
