Game jams / Swanky Studios
Swanky Studios and three years of game jams
A student game studio, our jam entries, and a hackathon that outgrew its school.

In December 2023 I founded Swanky Studios, an independent game studio of five or more students. We built game prototypes and tech demos and entered game jams, where you make a whole game around a theme in a weekend. The jams taught me more about scoping than anything else I've done.
The Trevor Day hackathon
At Trevor Day School I started a hackathon and game jam. It became a yearly event that grew past 50 attendees and expanded to other New York City schools.
