HI I'M RUDI
Producer | Designer | Games User Researcher
ABOUT ME
I hold an M.F.A. in game design from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts where I designed and produced games while also working in UX research.
I used to be an archaeologist and have excavated all over the world. I remain deeply interested in people and our relationships to things and each other.
I like learning new things, good beer, power metal, biking around Los Angeles, too many books to list, and games of all types.
