[About Me]

My name is Craig Morrison, an occasional daydreamer, enthusiastic but novice photographer, artist, wannabe writer, and creatively curious creature who has made a living making video games for over fifteen years.

I currently make that living with the awesome folks at Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine, California, working on World of Warcraft as the project's Design Manager.

I have a passion for game design, and in particular massively multiplayer and online gaming.



Previously I spent almost a decade working with Norwegian developer Funcom on Massively Multi-player Online games (MMOs) like Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, and The Secret World.

I also currently lecture and teach Game Design at the University of California, Irvine as part of their Computer Game Science (CGS) major.

I am lucky enough to get opportunities to be asked to speak about games, meet interesting new people, and share experiences and stories at conventions, trade shows, and other events.

THE BUSINESS STUFF {My LinkedIn Profile}

PHOTOGRAPHY
Is a hobby, and something that provides me with a way that I enjoy seeing the world. Wherever I go, my camera tends not to be too far behind!

WRITING 
The thing I most love doing if left to my own devices, but don't always get the time to work on, which is only fine given that I love my day job.
