Developer, Designer, Artist

Hey, I'm Xian.  I'm what you might call a multipotentialite. Some might refer to me as a Jack-of-all-trades, Master-of-none, but I like to think of myself as a multi-classer that can tank when necessary as well cast both healing and offensive magic spells; though truthfully, I'm an artificer at heart. I love being creative and taking things into unexplored or unusual directions.

Web Developer

20+ years of experience designing and building for the web from the dark days of table based layouts to modern, responsive, web applications.

Designer

From Graphic Design to Websites to Marketing Materials to Boardgames to Action Figures; and always with a focus on User friendly and Feature rich.

Self Taught

Constantly learning and increasing my knowledge. Always willing to research and up my skills to complete my tasks.

Get to know me better

Nearly all of my knowledge is self-taught as I get to a point where I need to know X to accomplish my goal so I go and learn X. This approach has led me to learn things "out of order" at times but it has served well in building up my broad selection of tools when it comes to coming up with creative solutions to difficult problems.


Interestingly enough, board game design has been the place where I've gotten more diverse experience than anywhere else as it draws on writing for back stories and world building; analytical and logical thinking for developing game mechanics and rule systems; character design and illustration; graphic design for rulebooks and game assets; 3D design and CAD for miniatures and game components; front end and back end programming and developing for game-related sites and companion apps; to say nothing of marketing, networking, playtesting, material and manufacturer research and logistics; the list goes on and on.


I truly enjoy taking a project from initial concept to completion while wearing as many different hats as possible and working with intelligent people at all stages of the project.
