Inti Einhorn
Frankentoy | Mobo Studio Specialist
Inti Einhorn is a New York-based game designer focused on the real-world application of games in the service of education. As a young boy, Inti had a recurring dream about being given a very special watch. In its face he could make out a copy of the entire universe: from the perfect arcs of solar systems down to the life a bug, it was all there to seen, and touched. The world on the other side of the glass begged to be changed, and each night was spent testing its rules, searching for the edges, turning it upside-down. The dream eventually faded, but it left Inti with a mission: to see that glint of deep creative power in eyes newer than his.

Justine Rogoff
Frankentoy | Mobo Studio Mentor
Justine Rogoff was born and raised in New York City and public school educated through High School. She reached the painful discovery that she was a Mets fan at an early age.

Justine's interest in games ranges from Gameboy's Mortal Combat to Scrabble and everything in between, including the incredibly popular Mortal Scrabble Combat. Justine graduated from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in History with a research focus on Medieval Iberia. Since graduating Justine has been working in the publishing and corporate training industries.
