What is Social Cipher?

I’m the Cofounder and Creative Director of Social Cipher, a company that makes social emotional learning video games for neurodivergent youth and the professionals who work with them.

Since launching the first game on our platform, my awesome cofounder Vanessa Castañeda Gill and I have reached over 200 school systems and therapy centers worldwide, and the number continues to grow.

In my position, I direct the talented work of SC’s neurodiverse creative team in the areas of story, character development, design, art, and more.
