“Brett is easily one of the most talented designers I have worked with in my almost 20 years in the business. He sees everything with a fresh perspective and has the ability to roll up his sleeves and design in any genre... always finding a way to innovate and develop fresh ideas, regardless of the subject matter.”

Chris Taylor, CEO/Creative Director: Gas Powered Games

“Brett is one of the rare people who can understand at a very deep level how engineering, art, and design all converge on the fun factor of gameplay. Brilliant design sensibilities, and very outside the box thinking make him ideally suited for quick iteration and prototyping tasks. I believe there is no limit to what Brett could design given a team that is geared to create interesting and fun gameplay as its number one priority.”

Bert Bingham, Producer: Gas Powered Games

“Brett is an extremely bright and creative designer with strong technical and artistic skills. He has a keen understanding of game design paradigms and a consistent ability to think outside the box in suggesting unique and innovative ideas.”

Al Escudero, Lead Designer: Gas Powered Games
 

“Brett’s design philosophy revolves around prototyping and iteration which, as an artist, I really appreciate. He tests his ideas in-engine first, iterates, leaves room for happy accidents and changes, and only then does he make art requests. He relies on game-play to prove his ideas and as a result his design doc’s are lightweight and approachable. He readily invites teammates to “play through” his ideas rather than assume his intent through e-mail’s or "design novels," and he is always open to criticism. His game-play designs are unique, creative, and get people excited.”
