Cephas Howard
Innovative British Game Designer & Inventor, Design Manager at LEGO, Creative Lead LEGO Games at LEGO System A/S
Cephas Howard is a game designer at the forefront of current trends. He had always dreamed of working for LEGO. The opportunity at LEGO arose at a time when Cephas was actively looking to self-publish two of his own games. He had quotes from manufacturers, he had a website, he had business cards; and then he saw an advertisement for the job at LEGO and events took an entirely unexpected turn. He applied for the position and landed the job based on his past portfolio, his enthusiasm and ideas, and what was perhaps a true meeting of minds with his future bosses.
"...have a belief in yourself and your ideas, and the ability to convince others and make believers of them also" Cephas Howard
In detail
Cephas Howard's career includes being Senior Concept Designer at Lego System A/S, Commercial Design Manager at The Guardian and Observer, and commercial design manager at Guardian News and Media pursuing a professional design career within the publishing industry before embarking on his childhood dream of designing games.
What he offers you

Actively encouraging us to change the board or the dice, to break the rules; to not just play the game, but to play with the game, he explores groundbreaking new and innovative ideas in his invaluable presentations.
