Ted Brown [LinkedIn] is a game designer and writer with eight years of experience, and he's looking for work! Please check out his portfolio at oreganik.com.
One of the first graduates of the Guildhall at SMU, Ted has worked on a wide variety of games, from AAA console titles to top-market social games. He is passionate about the industry and games as a medium, and would like to be independently wealthy so he could just make games all day, write stories at night, then cook cajun food and craft beer on the weekends.
