• (This is me. I'm this guy! And that's my wife Lindsay!)

  • Oh, hello.

    I'm Davin Pavlas, a human factors psychologist and researcher who works on games, play, and learning. If that sounds cool to you, check out my dissertation. Today, I work at Riot Games doing exactly that kind of stuff!

    You can find me in all sorts of places online:

  • MUSIC: Alptraum
    I made some Industrial / EBM music drawing on movies where things go wrong in space. (May 2024)
  • MUSIC: Hindsight
    In 2020, I participated in Weekly Beats, making a song a week. Some of those tracks became an album I finished in early 2021. (February 2021)
  • GAME: Black Dog, Black Blanket
    Black Dog, Black Blanket is a game where you try to get Goose, the cute but bad dog, to go to sleep! Can you do it? I bet you can. (April 2015)
