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.

Charlie’s first PBS IP was Hero Elementary. The games Charlie made for this property exceeded 20 million plays on the PBS Kids app within six months of release, and had double the average playtime of the platform.
