The Jazwares Games RDC '23 Mixer was such an amazing moment. Thank you so much for joining us for the night! This is what it's all about.
Community. Friendship. Bringing people together, one game at a time.

I work with Jazwares, the toy company partner on the Roblox line. If you're a Roblox Creator interested in learning more about working with us directly on licensed product (such as toys), please send me a DM. Thanks!

Roblox is ending the Dev Stars Licensing Program, which is used mostly to collab with devs on toys and merch. Roblox can still make their own toys and merch, we don’t know if/what style they will make moving forward (1/4)

We just did something SUPER cool with Squishmallows on Roblox 👀
Today, the first in-game exclusive character was released IRL! And we’re looping it back in with a virtual item code for a free UGC! 🤩

Roblox attracts over 150 million MAU, the Superbowl brings in around 102 million viewers. Where are the big advertisers on Roblox? Seems like a huge missed opportunity to reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
RDC has this incredible electric energy to it- something very unique. This really was a fantastic year for the conference, and marks my 8th time attending in person.
Here’s to many more! Much love to the community.

Spent a bit of time re-organising my office space and bringing in a few things to make it feel more comfortable. Really love how the whole setup connects to my laptop with only 1 cable (for power, display, external hard drive etc).

Just over 11 months ago, 2 weeks after I turned 18, I decided to move out alone from the UK to the United States.
Life since then has moved super fast. I’ve lived in 2 different states (California & Florida), & I’ve experienced so many new things.
No regrets.
Jazwares has been AMAZING to work with! They're so open to ideas and allow us to be heavily involved in the process and design.
I've also learned how hard it is to make toys! Work on these began a year ago! 😱
Spotted some new Brookhaven, Ninja Legends, Hide & Seek Extreme, and Adopt Me toys today at Target!
Looking good 👀 and all come with awesome codes!
#Roblox
New DevSeries toys in collaboration with the top games on Roblox just dropped at Target! 👀
Go check it out and start your collection today! This has been such a blast to work on with these incredible developers and studios!

Two weeks after I turned 18, I packed my life into suitcases and moved from the UK to the US.
4 years and 3 states later, I've learned more about life and myself than I ever could have imagined. The journey continues. Wouldn't change a thing.
Get out there. Follow your gut.
It’s a year later, and Roblox now has ~100 million MAU more than when I first wrote this tweet. The advertisers are here now, but there’s still so much more potential for the platform and brands on it.
What a difference a year can make. Can’t wait for the future.

What an amazing experience to be surrounded by so many people building incredible brands and innovating in the licensing space at Licensing Expo this week!
I've been on the Roblox platform since 2009. To see the evolution from an online building toy to the first real Metaverse game platform has really been something extraordinary.
It's been one hell of a ride so far. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
It's the last day of Finalists Week! Take a look at all of the nominees for the 2023 Excellence Awards below.

Slowly starting to cook again :)
Dinner tonight was a black peppercorn crusted lamb chop, pan seared in duck fat, with a red onion and cremini duxelles and micro green salad, served on a bed of honey roasted heirloom carrot purée.
It was good.
Excited to share that I'll be speaking at SEG3 in London on June 27-28 alongside an incredible lineup of leaders from across the gaming, entertainment, and sports spaces!
The mindset that you have to “stay in your lane” or stick on one given path is so inherently self-destructive.
It’s never too late to pivot. It’s never too late to learn something new.
We are so excited to partner with

Estoy recreando Poppy Playtime Capítulo 1 desde cero, en 'Poppy Playtime Forever' y de momento esto es lo que llevo 😅
Con algunas alteraciones obvias pero se mantiene la idea
Last weekend, Roblox hosted its very first listening party. Grammy-nominated artist Poppy launched her album 'Flux', utilizing Roblox as a powerful way for her fans to connect and enjoy the album for the first time as a social experience.
Your community are the greatest co-pilots you could possibly have as a game developer. Listen to their feedback, iterate on your product, build better together.
Woah! It's been a year since I moved to the US!
1 year ago today was my first day @ Roblox for their Accelerator program. Memories were made I will never forget, and I learned so much!
So much has changed since then! Excited to see what else will change in the next year!

Excited to see where this project goes! May do an article detailing some of my takeaways so far.
