DESIGNER. ARTIST. TEACHER. RELUCTANT ADULT.
My name is Daniel Charlton. I have been an artist, designer and creator since childhood, and I founded Work Is Play to focus on customizing design solutions for a diverse client group.
Whether it’s solving a complex design problem, or creating games for me and my friends, I aim to create simple, intuitive solutions to improve the lives around me.
I’m ifelong learner and teacher, and I currently hold a Video Game Design Diploma (2018) and a UX Design Diploma (2021).
JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF SOME.
Teaching
7+ years of instructor/educator experience in Fine Art, Digital Art, Graphic Design and more. Created lesson plans and taught groups and individuals, in-person and on-line.
Game Theory
I was designing games even before I realized I could include it in my career, and I like to apply game theory in a solution wherever possible to make everyday life a little more fun.
User Experience
My approach to design starts with understanding the goals of the specific project, then applying creativity, skill, training and experience to develop a solution to meet those goals.
