Transmedia Director
Drawing on my classical art background, I’ve developed a distinctive approach to transmedia storytelling and transformative design that focuses on interaction humanism, digital empathy and embodied experience. The workflows presented in my books and Kinaesthetic Time Capsules™ method blend physical and digital media—supporting development across board games, game consoles, mobile platforms, VR/AR, touch interfaces, spatial installations and more. These methods are used in game art and design, UX, HCI, data-driven digital communication and museum experiences. I’m particularly passionate—and widely recognised—for creating inclusive, supportive environments that empower individuals and cross-disciplinary teams to express themselves creatively and authentically.

"The convergence of narrative in film, video games, and virtual reality will fundamentally change the entertainment industry in coming years. Chris Solarski's book gives content creators crucial insights into interactive story composition and how to adapt these concepts for transmedia storytelling."
"The concepts presented in Chris Solarski's book remind me of Joseph Campbell's powerful demonstration of a universal storytelling structure. This book creates that wonderful feeling of learning new letters, which soon prove useful to form new sentences for bringing new poetry to the world."
"Chris’ work and writings brought me a deep insight and perspective about game design and art. His thorough research on storytelling in games, and how that translates to shape languages in game art that evokes certain emotions to the players, makes me look at visual art very differently today."
"Chris Solarski's book is extremely ambitious; from the smallest detail to broad concepts that encompass an immense scale, its truly applied methodology serves as a catalyst that enriches the reader's heart and promotes the creation of pure art."
"Chris Solarski's book supports my own 30-year crusade to demonstrate that games are an art form that undeniably rivals traditional arts. It gives detailed explanations of game art techniques and their importance, while also highlighting their dependence on artistic aspects of game design
and programming."

"Chris Solarski's book is a great game design resource, as it breaks down shape theory in all aspects of design."
"The clever thing about Chris Solarski's book is that it bridges the worlds of game design and storytelling. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get into game design and understand what's going on beneath the surface."
