About Rob Kay

A 23 year game industry vet I love building a shared creative vision with teams and execs, leading design teams, and the hands-on work of developing gameplay, systems, and content.I've worked mainly in console (PS1 to PS5) and VR (inc Quest and PSVR), and have been fortunate to collaborate with some amazing talent; building hit games for the likes of Sony, EA, WB, Atari, and Harmonix, on teams sized 1 to 150 people.
