I'm Drew, an award-winning independent game designer and educator with a BFA in Game Design from Pratt Institute. I teach students the joy of making through expressive, project-based instruction. My teaching philosophy is all about letting students pursue what they're passionate about. So, I equip students with the foundational knowledge and tools they need to pursue whatever it is they're interested in. What draws me to game-making is its marriage of technical skill and creative expression, meaning there's always something new to learn, and I aim to instill that same joy of learning into my students.
