Graydon Games -- Web Development & Board Game Design

About Me

My name is Graydon James and I'm a Toronto-based front-end web developer, board game designer, musician, and writer. That makes it sound like I have many widely disparate avenues of interest, but really they are all focused around one thing -- being creative!

I also have an appreciation for dad jokes. Maybe that was obvious.

Movie Matchmaker

A "blind date with a movie"! Constructed using The Movie Database API with Haley Tibbits. Select a few details you want in your "date" and get matched with a movie! Get too picky, and you might end up with a movie no one wants to watch... You've been warned!
