Hello!

I’m Patrick Bellanca and I want to thank you for visiting my portfolio website. I am a Game Designer in Boulder, CO who’s been in the games industry for over 17 years. Video games entered my life in the mid-80s and I’ve never stopped playing, talking about, and wanting to discover new games. I love solving complex problems and am happiest when I’m being creative so naturally making games was the only choice for me.

Rochester, NY is my hometown where I first fell in love with games on our family’s C128 and later received a Master’s Degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology. After graduation, I joined EA Sports with the Tiger Woods PGA Tour team before joining the Madden NFL team a year later. During my time at EA Sports, I made countless major contributions to 13 shipped AAA titles as a Game Designer and Product Owner and am thankful for every opportunity and experience along the way. After EA, I took a lead role with Scopely designing the smash-hit mobile title, Monopoly GO!

I am constantly on the lookout for fresh perspectives and the latest innovations in game design and games in general and love to talk about the unprecedented pace of progress and transformation we’re all experiencing. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy experimenting with clever new ideas and collaborating with friends and colleagues on side projects.

I’m always eager to meet new minds and to discuss games, so please don’t hesitate to reach out and introduce yourself.
