Summary
Metis Christodoulou is a multidisciplinary game designer and researcher with 13 years of experience blending interactive art, indie game production, and applied research in education and healthcare settings. As founder of 3 Vibe Lab and co‑founder of Oxhead Studios, they have led design, playtesting, and worldbuilding for experimental games while consulting on narrative and mechanic systems. Their work spans academia and practice—from adjunct teaching in game development to research assistance at Boston University—and uniquely combines a BFA in Game Design with minors in Computer Science, Japanese, and East Asian Studies. During the pandemic they translated design and operational skills into healthcare impact at One Medical, creating national workflows, tooling for insurance authorizations, and coordinating COVID testing programs. Metis also advances workplace equity through ERG leadership and brings a persistent curiosity for fringe game design research and interactive art that informs both pedagogy and product. Ambitious about further graduate study, they pair creative risk-taking with systems thinking to make playful projects that scale into real-world systems.
