I turn ideas
into
experiences.

Practical tools. Playful games. Art and live experiences. A creative practice built around making things happen.

A little context

I'm Max, a producer and maker working across digital products, games, and art. I bring the same curiosity to a puzzle, a workflow, and an experience: how can this idea come to life?

Selected workTools / Games / Art

ASTO

Word puzzle / Playable on the web

An ASTO puzzle board, “Roots and Reasons”: sixteen word tiles under four empty answer slots
The “Roots and Reasons” puzzle on playasto.com

Four words. One relationship that repeats. ASTO is a word puzzle about analogies—finding how one thing relates to another, then spotting that same connection somewhere else.

Inside the project

I built and continue to edit a specialized AI authoring pipeline that writes, checks, and critiques each board. I play every published puzzle before release and refine it for quality. The game began as my capstone for a class on multi-agent AI development.

The person behind the work

Hi, I'm Max.

My background spans event production, an independent art business, and a growing collection of apps and games.

I enjoy shaping an idea, working through its constraints, and bringing the pieces together into something people can actually experience.
