About Jonathan Ehrich
I use research and behavioral expertise to make good games better with the power of science. I work with developers across disciplines, across all aspects of the production cycle, from concept to usability to playtest to post-release data collection. I\'ve worked on games both big and small, from concept to post-release, and across all aspects of the end user experience. I specialize in taking novel and bespoke methodologies and polishing them into standardized mature research products, and improving process efficiency and quality. I\'m absolutely passionate about coming up with new ways to answer novel and interesting questions.
