Board Game Design
This is a start-to-finish design partnership. I help you conceptualize, develop, and refine an educational or organizing-focused board game tailored to your audience and purpose.We begin with a deep dive into your content, then co-design mechanics, themes, and player interactions that honor your message and challenge players to think critically. Accessibility, inclusion, and systemic literacy are integrated throughout.
Where systems become stories, and stories become tools for justice...
Why I Offer This?
As a board game collector and critical pedagogue, I believe in the power of play as a radical learning strategy. Games make systems visible. They allow us to ask “what if,” to experiment, to practice solidarity and strategy.
Designing games is how I build joy into the work of justice. It’s also how I help others bring their movements, curriculum, or messages into material form—with creativity, complexity, and care.
