About Flame Game

I'm the one a team calls when an idea needs a path. I work across design, engineering and teaching to find out what new technology can do in practice, shape the process around it, and help the team make it their own.

How I work

  1. 01

    Find out first

    Hands-on trials answer questions early. I test what new technology can do with the team before anyone commits to a direction.

  2. 02

    Translate both ways

    Fine-tuning a diffusion model in the morning, walking a creative director through what's actually achievable in the afternoon.

  3. 03

    Leave the team stronger

    Six years teaching maths taught me that adoption is understanding. I design workshops and tools so teams make the technology their own.
