Made to
interact.
For over 20 years, I’ve used technology to create shared experiences — from games and interactive entertainment to connected hardware, production pipelines and AI-powered products.
I’m Ryan Lussing. My career spans interactive entertainment, digital production, studio leadership, invention and entrepreneurship. I’ve helped build kids’ games, Netflix apps, CBC interactive series, non-linear experiences, experimental hardware projects, games and websites for Paramount and Sony Pictures, and new software ventures that move from idea to launch in days, weeks or months.
