HELLO

It's nice to meet you. My name is Max. I’m a designer from Chicago, Il.

DESIGN & POLITICS

I design and consult for clients like Barack Obama, Jonathan Coulton, Common Cause, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I am a major benefactor of the Sunlight Foundation, the Wikimedia Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Chicago Design Museum, and the House Theater. I'm on the National Advisory Committee of DonorsChoose.org.

GAMES

I make the games Cards Against Humanity, Secret Hitler, Humans vs. Zombies, Slap .45, Tableflip, and Werewolf. I published Samurai Gunn.
