About Birds of Play

We are a one man enterprise dedicated to helping game studios reach peak productivity

Juha Sadeharju

I'm a veteran make-it-happener, a project manager, a problem solver, and a team builder. 

For the past four years, I've been wholly immersed in AAA production complexities from different angles and levels: staffing, tools, work practices, communication, oversight, or project governance.

Beyond that, I have over 20 years in the software business, with the last nine years in the games industry. I've been a startup founder, COO, entrepreneur, coder, project manager, and investor, and I worked passionately at every organizational level, often building solutions from scratch. I've built internal units and functions, operated and developed highly successful mobile games, hired engineers, artists, and executives, and supported all kinds of digital sales & marketing. I am a naturally holistic systems thinker and understand how difficult driving organizational change can be.

As a widely talented generalist, I can help your organization in a very cost-effective manner.

Studio experience

I’ve personally had the privilege and pleasure to familiarize myself with the cultures and working methods of these studios. For some I was actively participating in creating them.

How can I help?

If you’re wondering whether or not I could help, the quickest way to resolve that is to ask away!
