Creative Geek is the brainchild of Jon Back. He’s a maker, a designer and doctoral level researcher focussed on play and games. This is a place for the creative geeks, the ones that not only consume, but also create geek culture, in one form or another. Through thoughtful projects about the fun side of life, we expand your creativity, develop your craft, and empower your passion!

Creative geek culture could mean designing board games, creating cosplay costumes, or building theater props. It could mean painting miniatures, re-enacting historical periods, or performing magic tricks, as well as making co-created larp experiences, performing urban explorations, and writing short films.

I strongly believe the fun and creative side of life is worth taking seriously, and that you as a creative person can learn from listening to others whether they are in your subject or not. I want to make you smile, and think!
