Hi! I’m Michael John Saiger, a PhD and game design researcher. My PhD is at the University of York and part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence (iGGi).

My research explores involvement of end-users in the design of applied games for health. The target audience of my PhD research explores what is meant by ‘good’ or ‘sucessful’ participation when involving young peoplethe co-design of games. By understanding what makes for ‘good’ participation in end-users, we can create solutions tailored to users requirements.

As well as my research, I have worked in digital product and games development as a designer, quality assurance consultant and user researcher, with a greater interest in the latter.
