BIO: As a student at Gallatin, Oren Ross paved a unique path through the many schools, forging a study in game design, when many academic institutions just began looking at it as a course worthy of higher education. After graduating, he went straight to Tisch’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, continuing his trailblazing ways through the closest possible academic route. While a student at ITP, he and a few fellow students received the Digital Incubator Grant from mtvU / Cisco Systems, to create snagu, a mobile phone scavenger hunt.
Through his career in gaming he has already worked with the Entertainment Software Rating Board, 2K Games, and MTV Networks. Currently he conducts playtest sessions at Gameloft, advising producers on small fixes that will have big effects, to ensure that the games are able to reach the highest level of fun possible. He also volunteers with NYU, as a Board Member of the Alumni Association, and the International Game Developers Association, producing their momentous Demo Nights, a New York game industry favorite.
