Maker
Tim Ferry
My name is Tim Ferry. I started designing my flagship game, Old Salt in Cedar Rapids where I was born and raised. I finished the 5 year journey of designing, crowdfunding, manufacturing, and fulfilling a board game in Des Moines where I currently live with my wife, son and daughter. After launching Old Salt, I developed a program called Little Creators Club which teaches elementary kids how to design their own game. The goal of this program is to help kids take a step away from consumerism and instead towards being a lifelong creator, maker, and designer. If you’d like to learn more about my projects and games, check out NeverBoardGames.com or email me at Tim@oldsaltboardgame.com to get in touch!
