Workshops, Talks & Teaching

In addition to practical Game Design, I work as a teacher as well as do talks about Game Design for various conferences or Events. 

Teaching

 I teach lessons at various schools like: School4Games, Designschule Schwerin, SAE Institute Berlin. I am also head of the Game Design department for the School4Games where I do project reviews and coachings for the students. 

Courses I teach: 

• Game Design (Basic and advanced)
• Game Analysis
• Game Documentation
• Game Balancing (Basic and Advanced) 

Workshops

Together with various institiuations (like the Stiftung digitale Spielekultur) I also work on Workshops with teenagers and adults. These usually include learning Game Design basics as well as creating concepts for games like board games, larps or escape rooms. 

Talks

I have given talks at various conferences like the Quo Vadis, Respawn, Knutepunkt, Leipziger Winterspiele, PLAY. In these talks I give insight into a variety of topics of Game Design, Play Culture and work practice. My personal focus here usually is on varied forms of play and how they interact with each other and learn from each other.
