Welcome! I'm Julian Birke.
As a seasoned professional in video and graphic design, I've always found my creative release in designing Pincer. For me, board game design is a unique and powerful medium—it unites people through shared experiences and common interests. Unlike other forms of art, it's interactive; your creations aren't just observed, they're held, moved, and brought to life by those who play. Players step into the world you've crafted, engaging deeply with your imagination in a way that’s both tangible and immersive.Some of my most cherished memories revolve around board games with friends and family. That’s why I’m passionate about encouraging others to step away from the digital screen and reconnect with each other through the timeless joy of board games.Join me on this journey as we continue to develop Pincer, with the hope that one day, it finds its way to your kitchen table, creating memories and connections of your own.
