Studio & Founder

The creative company, working philosophy, and founder behind Bad Wizard Publishing.

The Studio

Bad Wizard Studio

Bad Wizard Studio is an independent creative company spanning tabletop games, publishing, media, interactive experiments, and connected fictional worlds. The studio is built around memorable premises, distinctive visual identities, dark humor, genre storytelling, and artifacts that feel intentionally created rather than assembled by committee.

Bad Wizard Publishing is the studio's home for comics, illustrated fiction, serialized stories, anthology projects, collectible editions, and narrative properties that can later move across games, audio, video, and interactive media when the idea benefits from another form.

Founder & Creative Director

Jeffrey Young

Jeffrey Young founded Bad Wizard as an entrepreneurial creative studio combining game design, storytelling, technology, artificial intelligence, web development, and experimental media. His work moves between creative direction and technical implementation, allowing concepts to develop into prototypes, websites, interactive experiences, campaigns, digital tools, and finished products inside one connected studio.

Bad Wizard reflects that combination of interests: narrative worldbuilding and physical game design on one side; software, AI, digital production, and interactive experimentation on the other.
