Hi Elphas!
I’m Amy Jo Kim, CEO of Game Thinking Academy. We help startups, game teams & global brands 10X product/market fit & build high-retention experiences.
After getting a BA in psychology & a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience, I dove into tech & worked as a systems & UX designer on connected games, services & apps. I founded & sold a gaming startup, & co-authored a book sharing what I learned helping unlikely hits like Rock Band, The Sims, Netflix, Cover Fashion, Ultima Online, nytimes.com, & Replika come to life.
During my downtime, I enjoy playing bass, singing karaoke, & taking family hikes around the beautiful Bay Area with our rescue dog Cleo.
Ask me anything about game design, game thinking, designing for retention, gamification, smart innovation, finding product-market fit, product design, social systems design, UX design, creative direction, design coaching, product leadership, or funky afro-latin bass grooves :-)
