An award-winning game designer creating games for all ages, Charlie believes that all games are teaching something, and all games need a grid.


Charlie is the co-founder of Videogame Workshop, an independent game development studio creating games that are puzzley, interesting, and easy for anyone to play.


Charlie was the lead game designer for the PBS Kids national properties Skillsville, and Hero Elementary. She developed digital games, tabletop games, eBooks, and virtual field trips played by millions of users.


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.
