Skillsville was my second project with Twin Cities PBS, funded by a grant from the US Department of Education. Its goal was to help children ages 5-8 develop critical executive functioning skills that lay the groundwork for future success in school and the workplace.

As the lead game designer for Skillsville, I led the design and production of our digital games. I also developed our tabletop games, eBooks and virtual field trips entirely in-house.

The entire Skillsville team was required to stop all work early due to an executive order defunding PBS. Much of our planned content was canceled and many people lost their jobs. What has been published has been extremely well received, and used by millions of kids across the United States.
