Meet Jules - our Visual Designer

Jules-blog-pinball-wedding.jpg

Hi!  I’m Jules. I’m the new visual designer for Cherry Picked Games. I’m very excited to be working on our new game and making sure everything around here is looking sharp.

I’m an experiential graphic designer by day which means I focus on designing things for both visuals and interactions. Be it a museum exhibit, a Rube Goldberg machine or a tabletop game, I love thinking up fun memorable ways for people to interact with and enjoy the things I make. 

I love games of all sorts, especially ones that encourage conversation and laughter. I dabble in video games, board games, murder mysteries, and even hosted my wedding reception at the Pacific Pinball Museum.  I think the way a good game encourages social interactions is really special. I owe several good friendships to game nights and I’m excited to be contributing to this community. 

When I’m not designing you’ll find me knitting, geeking out about typefaces, collecting enamel pins, or hanging out with my corgi, Ellie, at the dog park.

Abandon Amazon

Abandon Amazon

Last month, we discontinued sales of our Cherry Picked Games titles on Amazon. We know many of you shop there, but it no longer makes sense for us to use the platform. Amazon was a money sink. There were also constant disruptions that required our attention. More importantly, leaving the service better aligns with our values: support small and independent businesses, price products to deliver fair value to both the consumer and developer, and maintain our voice while sharing our games. We’ll go into the history and reasons below the fold, but know that CPG still has their games available on our site and through distributors around the world.
