“Game design is a powerful storytelling medium because players become part of a story and explore consequences of choices.” Michael is a narrative game designer prototyping his independent game, Telmahre, which explores using virtual space as a metaphor for a character’s mental state. In his first year at Biola, he has developed the new Game Design program for Biola's Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts. Michael has also taught game design, digital technology, digital art or computer science at several colleges.
