About Speaker

Hello! I'm Todd. I'm creative problem solver who is very attached to the Seattle area. I thought I was going to be an Urban Farmer when I grew up and as I grew older I realized my passion was in game design. I always get excited for the Climate Game Jam every year that is put on by the Seattle Indies among others because I can combine both of those interests: the study of the natural world and games. This year was special with Indiecade supporting it. During my day job - I work at Fair Worlds as UX Design Engineer. We work with clients to create immersive experiences. So it makes perfect sense that I would want to use my expertise in VR to create an experience showcasing the natural world. I created with the help of my parents - an advocation of using mason bees in your backyard called BeeCycle. You play as a guardian spirit that creates habitat for the bees. I'm thrilled that it was awarded an honorable mention.
