Available for contract & full-time production roles

Brandon Buechler

Games Industry Creative & Production Specialist

From design to deployment — I help turn ideas into products.

About

I love bringing stories to life.

As a writer and a producer, I take stories and ideas and give them physical form — work that inspires wonder and imagination in the people who meet it.

Over seven years in news, television, digital media and games, I’ve shipped high-quality digital products and content across multiple platforms. My background spans project and product management, video game production, data analysis and web development.

Most recently I worked at Digital Extremes, one of Canada’s leading independent game developers, across the Warframe, Wayfinder and Soulframe web ecosystem. Before that I spent years in the CTV News and CP24 newsrooms, where I led the RTDNA-winning Truth Tracker team.
