About Us

Hi, we're Porter and DJ!

I’m DJ, and this is my son Porter (age 7). We’ve been playing card and board games together for years — and Porter also loves art. (His drawings were recently featured on t-shirts for a school-wide fundraiser!)

I’ve worked as a Software Engineer in the gaming industry, I’m a musician, and I created my first (and only) board game back in 5th grade. Games — video, card, or board — have been a huge part of my life since I was a kid.

This past fall, Porter and I decided: why not make our own game?

We set out to create something that would:

• Feature awesome, lovable creatures
• Be quick and easy to play — around 15 minutes, to play on busy weeknights
• Be portable and travel-friendly
• Be collectible, with room for new creatures and expansions

CUBE Creatures was born — inspired by Cube Man, a comic book Porter created at camp. The name has since evolved to stand for Creatures United in Battle Excellence, and CUBE types are the most powerful creatures in the game.

Porter is the creative engine behind the creature designs (with a little help — and a few 80s/90s throwbacks — from me). The designs come from his original art and wild ideas. I design the gameplay and handle everything else behind the scenes.

Thanks for being part of our journey!
