Inventor of Gogh Games, Debbie Richards grew up in the vibrant suburbs of Southern California, where her love affair with board games began at a young age. Every holiday, her father would brace himself for the inevitable marathon of board games, patiently playing along as Debbie eagerly explored each new addition to her growing collection. By the time she reached adulthood, her collection had grown to over 300 games—a testament to her unyielding passion.

With a background in art and graphic design, Debbie has always believed that a game should be as beautiful as it is fun. As a child, she would redesign her favorite games to make more deluxe and exciting versions. This passion for design and creativity carried over into her professional life, where she worked in home entertainment, social media, real estate, and advertising. Despite her success in these fields, her entrepreneurial spirit never wavered, and she knew that one day she would bring her own games to life.

That day finally came with the creation of her first game, Duck Duck What, marking the beginning of her latest and most cherished venture—her game company, Gogh Games.
