Hi, I’m Dan!
I spent two decades designing the future of play. Now I’m reimagining its past.
As a Master Designer on the LEGO innovation team, I worked with mixed reality and cutting-edge technologies, led innovation workshops, and helped launch several new product lines including LEGO Pokémon.
While that was exciting, nothing compares to gathering around a table with the folks we cherish. My fondest memories are game nights where laughter and friendly rivalries bridged generations and brought us closer. We need these moments of togetherness and shared joy now more than ever.
That’s why I created Unplugged Arcade, a collection of handcrafted games that could have existed a hundred years ago. Built for bars, social venues, and living rooms, these games transform any space into timeless arenas of laughter, camaraderie, and spirited competition.
Each game is crafted to last like the amusements of yesteryear, designed to spark friendships, community, and memories you’ll treasure for years to come.
Like a pastime from a past time.
