About Me & Testimonials
Hi - I’m Anthony, a freelance boardgame developer based in Oxford, UK. From 2019 to 2023 I worked for Osprey Games, where my responsibilities included deciding which titles to publish in an extremely competitive market; leading the mechanical, visual, and physical development of incredibly diverse and complicated products; and supporting marketing, sales, legal, and rights team across the entirety of the publishing cycle. Before that, I worked as a developer for multiple publishers, including Mindclash, Artipia, and Inside the Box. I’ve also founded a Kickstarter-based publisher called Play for Keeps, that are releasing their second and third titles this year.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best designers and artists in the industry, and have developed and published multiple award winning games.
“Anthony has been a pleasure to work with on multiple projects. He demonstrated a deep understanding of each game, and is detail oriented in both his briefings and feedback. As an art director Anthony knows how to strike a good balance between guidance, and allowing an artist to bring their own voice to the work. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again soon.”
- Ian O’Toole, Artist and Graphic Designer
I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Anthony for a while now. He’s been a consummate professional and a fountain of knowledge and experience.
During some times where we’ve needed to suddenly change direction, Anthony has been highly dependable and flexible. I highly recommend Anthony to anyone who is looking for a top class developer, editor, and project manager.

We have been working with Anthony on various projects for several years, and he has been an amazing partner for Mindclash Games.

- Victor Péter, CEO, Mindclash Games
"I’ve worked with Anthony for almost five years, and he’s been one of the greatest partners and collaborators I’ve had the honour to work with. He served as one of the developers for the Undaunted series, helping transform each game in the series from good to award winning. It was because of Anthony’s close partnership and attention to detail that I wanted to work with him on additional games outside of the Undaunted series, because I knew his vision would help those games reach their full potential."
- David Thompson, Designer
