God-Bear Productions is Joe Osborn’s game and interaction design imprint. Joe is an MFA student at the University of Southern California’s Interactive Media Division.
“God-Bear” comes from the Old Norse etymology of the surname Osborn. Equal parts ás for “God” and bjǫrn for “Bear”, the name conjures, for me, a noble yet comical image. God-Bear Productions allows me to stamp my name on my works without feeling self-aggrandizing.
