Christian Alves, The creator and developer of the GameBoks, has been building stuff out of wood for over a decade. He’s been building everything from festival speakers to jewelry boxes for his mother.
Besides being educated in furniture carpentry and technical design, Christian is a major gamer. He became increasingly frustrated with the impracticality of bringing his console, monitor and other gaming gear to his friend’s places.
Meanwhile, he discovered how friends distanced themselves from each other as they started gaming more. He decided to find a solution to the problem and make a quick draft.
One day in his shed, he built a simple case of spare wood to put his TV inside it. It worked and solved his problem.
