Jeri Ellsworth
Jeri Ellsworth is an inventor, product creator, chip designer, and system-level engineer, with a passion for collecting pinballs, retro computers, and vintage toys.
Her love for invention began with building race cars before working with hardware design, creating a complete Commodore 64 system on a chip housed within a joystick, called C64 Direct-to-TV. Her combined passion for gaming and invention has fueled the creation of many cutting edge technologies, culminating in the creation of Tilt Five, the world’s first augmented reality gaming system.
In her spare time, Jeri loves collecting weird and unusual retro computers and toys. She particularly enjoys when the items arrive broken, since it gives her immense joy fixing them and bringing them back to life.
