About

Adriano Pantaleo

Serious game designer, learning architect, facilitator, developer and researcher.

PROFILE / RESEARCH / DESIGN

From design to the game table.

I design analogue and digital systems to practise decision-making, coordination and negotiation. I develop scenarios, rules and materials, facilitate sessions and analyse the choices participants make.

I work with institutions, universities and organisations, connecting field experience, research and the development of reusable tools.
