Conference Talk

SHINE and what to consider when attacking a T-Rex w a torchlight

Feb 04, 2019

In 2018 Fox & Sheep wanted to try something new. They left their comfort zone made of cute characters and bright colors to set out to a new adventure: a mindful app for the whole family that doesn’t feed on the player’s dopamine levels. Timo offered a deep insight into how Fox & Sheep approached this project, and most importantly, into what worked and what went horribly wrong. Timo is Executive Director at Fox & Sheep, and is responsible for the idea, vision, look & feel as well as the realization of new, innovative digital products for kids. He is leading a team of award-winning artists, developers, and sound designers, driving them crazy with weird stickman mock-ups and home recorded humming choirs. Throughout his years at Nickelodeon and Wooga, he developed a deep passion for user experience & usability. Besides that, he’s pretty good at Super Bomberman 2 on the SuperNintendo. Theme: Minimal Tech
