ABOUT

After 20 years as a video game designer, then illustrator on big titles like Assassin's Creed, Spiderman, Guitar Hero, and Borderlands, I wanted to branch out with my own creation, a concept I had in mind for over a decade.

​

It was first just a quick play on words. Then Animalcatraz blossomed taking inspiration from the open world video games around me during the day and certain board game mechanics I enjoyed playing at night.

 

Fascinated by prison life, I had long done my homework too, documenting from books, movies etc. A Sandbox type prison boardgame was the obvious direction.

​

I invested countless hours over many years designing, illustrating and play testing my beastly game, while being helped along the way by seasoned board game creators.

​

Now with many experienced collaborators to guide me, fulfilling this dream and especially ensuring game fulfilment to you is my utmost priority.
