My career has focused on ideas (quite a few of them, really). Click here to download my complete resume. I now help manage the Creative Services team at Classmates.com. The brand is evolving, the site is improving, the company is moving to new digs on the Seattle waterfront, and my sleeves are rolled up. As the none-too mysterious namesake of Rebecca Kraus Creative, I've recently had the pleasure of consulting with casual game developers, an invention studio, a children's book publisher, design firm, and mobile content provider--to name but a few. I was the Copy Curator at Cranium, the Seattle-based company that got its start with the award-winning game by the same name. There I led a team of copywriters in the editorial re-branding of the packaging. Prior to that, I was the senior writer for Mattel Games Design in Los Angeles. I helped create and develop brands from the research and brainstorming phases to play testing and final execution of the content, packaging and rules. I worked on developmental games for preschoolers, licensed products for kids and social interactive games for adults. Before working on games, I was the Managing Editor for Entertainment@Home magazine, a national publication that explored the convergence of media in the digital era. I was one of the principals that helped launch this magazine. In addition to being a regular contributor to its film section, I was also the Music Editor for the weekly Entertainment Today magazine. As a freelance writer, I have contributed stories of pop culture and entertainment to many publications, including Premiere, Rolling Stone and Request. I’ve also written about travel, from the tale of a Bollywood film star in Soma magazine, to my experience at a Croatian peace camp in the book, Europe from a Backpack. For three years, I served on the Board of Directors for the non-profit, the Global Children’s Organization. This enabled me to blend my passion for play with my advocacy for children. In addition to fundraising and re-designing the brochure and website, I volunteered as a camp counselor around the world. In recent years, I have been a teacher and guest lecturer, espousing the virtues of volunteerism, travel writing, word play, and games design. Can I get a witness? Sure, read here.
