I've added a little project to the website and ndpdesign online store. Check out Nubs, little things just for fun! They're small plastic or rubber geometric shapes that are useful, decorative, or just neat.

I was interviewed by Scott Dunphy for the New Style podcast. We talked about Witness the Murder of Your Father and Be Ashamed, Young Prince, how to create a positive game design community, some ancient history (indie game design in 2005-2006), and what I'm excited to see coming out of the independent publishing community (hint: check this out).

Listen to the interview here.

The new ndpdesign online store is live! While my games will still be available through the existing outlets (indie rpg un-store, Indie Press Revolution, OneBookShelf and lulu.com), this store will (eventually) host all of my games and objects that are available for direct purchase.

While I only have some of my publications available at any given time, ordering directly from me when you can means that more of your money is going to support my continuing efforts.

Click here to visit the store.

My thesis work Play With Your Food (pdf) as well as my Milan project More Than It's Worth will both be on display. Details below.

June 11– June 25

Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, Designed Objects (AIADO) and Fashion

Public Reception Monday, June 13, 6:00–8:00 p.m. Sullivan Galleries, 33 South State St., 7th floor

Exhibition Hours 11:00am–6:00 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday

Free and Open to the Public

Showcasing design from the Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects (AIADO) and Fashion, this exhibition brings together work by more than fifty graduate students. Through their individual approaches, they present new design solutions, situating their works within the inter-spaces of cultural and built systems. The works explore the unseen aspects of our society—many of which have been forgotten or overlooked—by re-inhabiting space, challenging perceptions of interiority, and redefining values. The show is curated to highlight the individual works as separate entities through thematic and disciplinary juxtaposition.

This site is in the last stage of construction. If you find a broken link or something that looks wierd, feel free to contact me so I can fix it. Thanks!

Welcome to the new ndpdesign website! I am currently finishing my thesis work for my Master of Design in Designed Objects degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Entitled "Play With Your Food: Three Games About Eating," the work consists of three analog board games that each focus on a different bundle of issues surrounding how we connect with, procure and consume the food that we eat. You can download an info sheet about the project here (coming soon), and follow it's development on my blog here. The project will be exhibited at Where Is Where, the AIADO+Fashion Graduate Thesis Exhibition in the Sullivan Galleries at SAIC, June 11-25.
