An award winning game designer with over 6 years experience developing games for all ages, Charlie believes that all games are teaching something, and all games need a grid.

Charlie was the lead game designer for Skillsville, a new PBS property. Charlie developed digital games, tabletop games, eBooks and virtual field trips played by millions of users. Unfortunately due to an executive order defunding PBS, Charlie wasn’t able to complete the Skillsville project as planned, but many of the games and projects were still published.

After the success of Décorum, and the release of its daily puzzle app, Charlie gave a highly rated GDC talk on puzzle design and released a new expansion, Décorum: Movin' Out.

Prior to her current position, Charlie worked on Hero Elementary, a PBS property. Her games featured on the PBS Kids app exceeded 20 million plays within six months of release, and had double the average playtime of the platform.
