Games media Part I

Six years of writing and talking about games: the site I co-founded and ran, then SUPERJUMP, with a few bylines elsewhere along the way.

When: 2017–2022
Role: Co-founder & editor-in-chief
With: Albert Corsten and Alex Nester

In 2017, I co-founded viewport with my best gaming friends, Albert Corsten and Alex Nester: a video game site for reviews, features and podcasts, built to “enrich video game culture.” We started on Medium, moved to our own site in October 2018, and closed in April 2022.

For five years, we produced reviews, features and podcasts. We published 204 posts, and we hired reviewers, feature writers and video producers that joined our mission.

Shows we covered

viewport was listed on OpenCritic as an official publication, and we built working relationships with publishers and developers along the way.
