About
I started out because I wanted to make video games.
23 years later, I have done that and more. My career spans a diverse range of industries primarily in gaming but also in hospitality, big data, pharmaceutical, learning, health, consumer technology and platforms.
I am passionate about mobile as a technology landscape (I even wrote a book about it). I am exploring the future of AI enhanced experiences and how that integrates into mobile product and design strategy.
I bring a trademark positive energy, hands-on approach and strong technical acumen to my roles. My approach is anchored in design thinking and enriched by my diverse experiences that enable me to tackle even the most complex challenges with patience and care.
I mentor designers on ADPList, co-host a gaming and art podcast called Art Eater and I have a book about my mobile product framework titled, Untethered.
Its nice to digitally meet you.
You can call me, Borsky.
