After more than 20 years directing immersive player experiences for some of the world's largest AAA games (including EA Sports FC, reaching 150M+ players) I understood how to build worlds that captivate. But personal experience with my own child’s anxiety challenged me to ask: could the same design principles that drive engagement be used to restore emotional balance instead?

Well-Centered Studios emerged from observing a critical gap in existing digital wellness tools which are failing a generation in need. I embarked on a deep exploration of neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based emotional regulation, and Sense & Center™ was born. With a small team of skilled collaborators, we’re creating what I call Restorative Play: beautiful, sensory journeys that guide you gently from stress to calm. This is technology designed to give, not take.
