Hi, I’m Denis
I’m focused on meaningful digital experiences across games and interactive media.
I’m currently mapping the Berlin ecosystem — meeting founders, studios, builders, publishers, investors and partners to understand where strong projects have underused potential.
My focus is the intersection of:
- emotional player experience
- positioning and distribution
- partnerships and ecosystem building
- community and IP potential
- creative business development
I’m especially interested in digital experiences that make people feel more alive — and in the business opportunities that help those projects grow.
This is where I share field notes, insights and lessons from the journey.
What I’m Focused On:
Meaningful Digital Experiences

Creative Business Development
Where can positioning, partnerships, distribution, community or IP strategy unlock more value?
Ecosystem Mapping
Who are the founders, studios, builders, investors, publishers and partners shaping the next generation of interactive media?
