HIHI I'MI'M TAMTAM
I’m an artist, engineer, and game designer fueled by a lifelong passion for play. Raised in Burma, where board games were scarce, I found joy in crafting my own games, spending teenage weekends play-testing creations with my cousins.
This love for games evolved into a career bridging technology and creativity. Early on, I developed software for financial and government institutions, but my heart remained in gaming. To merge my passions for games, tech, and education, I co-founded Neuronic Games, a tech company designing immersive digital games for museums and educational institutions. I also co-founded UP Games, a board game publishing company dedicated to innovating game design and delivering fresh, engaging experiences.
Now based in New York City, I organize inclusive gaming events to welcome newcomers to the board game community and mentor emerging designers to bring their ideas to life.
