Jim Festante

Founder of Health-e-Habits.
Writer, creative director, and producer.

I’ve spent over 20 years in media, starting in video journalism covering tech and gaming at Slate/The Washington Post. Since then, I’ve co-written original comics for Dark Horse, Image, and comiXology, and led creative for brands like Xbox, Microsoft, and Adobe.

Today, I run Health-e-Habits, helping families and schools understand how the apps and games kids love are built to hold attention, and what to do about it at home.
