Michael Ford

Hello! My name is Michael Ford! 

​

I am a recent graduate from the University of Southern California, with a major in Interactive Media, a minor in Game Programming, and a specialization in card and tabletop game design.

​

My personal mission with my games and projects is to immerse players within the worlds and systems of the game, transporting them to fantastic new places and encouraging deep engagement with the mechanics themselves.​
