I'm a freelance media designer and platform-agnostic journalist. I design video games and social media projects for factual purposes. I curently work in multiplatform development for BBC Current Affairs, which basically means that I'm in the business of working out how long-form journalism should be dealing with this whole internet thing. I specialize in using video game dynamics and social media to convey journalism. I'm Canadian, and a long time ago, I used to work for the CBC in Canada and the US. I blog at Just Another Meme Vector.
