Curious soul. I make board games, soup, and bad puns. Visit robertataylor.ca for CV and Media Kit.
Canadian friends, I have a not-for-profit client in search of a graphic designer who is familiar with board games for a small project. Please reach out to me if you know someone who may be interested! Bonus points for anyone in the Edmonton area:)

As much as I love the feeling of a new idea waiting to be developed, I am impatient to see the finished concept. I'm trying to learn to embrace the creative muddle of starts and stops and let the process take as long as it needs.

Fresh snow on the ground here, so I feel like I should work on something cozy. Are any board game mechanics that feel intrinsically cozy to you, or is it all down to theme?
