Thirty years of design experience.

Heya, I’m Adrian. I created Protomight to share the tools, systems, and design experience that helps turn tabletop game ideas into reality.

I believe in teaching through long-form exposure. These courses are not rushed; every step is explained with purpose, giving us time to explore the inspiration, creative decisions, and techniques behind the work. The result is a consistent, repeatable, and highly adaptable design system built on creative inspiration, practical knowledge, and the confidence to bring your own ideas to life.
