Helping Game Studios Grow – From Prototype and beyond

I've built games, scaled teams, fixed chaos. I can help you too

About Me

I'm a game industry veteran with over 20 years of experience — as a game designer, producer, studio founder, and team leader. I’ve spent my career building dozens of games, growing teams, and solving problems across every stage of development.

I co-founded Big Cheese Studio and led the creative and production efforts behind the global hit Cooking Simulator. Over the years, I’ve scaled teams from small remote indie crews to 70+ people, working across disciplines and time zones. I've managed projects as an internal developer, as a contractor for publishers and outsource provider, and as a client managing external partners.

Today, I work with studios of all sizes to help them overcome creative bottlenecks, improve team processes, and bring their vision to life. Whether you're stuck in pre-production, facing production chaos, or planning your next milestone, I bring practical, battle-tested experience — with a focus on what actually works.
