Mark Schlichting (pronounced "Shh-lick-ting") is a well-known pioneer of the children's multimedia and interactive design industry. He is an expert in children's interactive design with over 30 years of design, publishing, and creative management experience. As one of the first interactive CD-ROM designers, Mark is probably best known as the creator of Broderbund's Living Books series. Living Books delivered one of the first truly interactive CD-ROM titles (for children) and was seen as the benchmark for engaging and educational multimedia in the 90's. Mark's first Living Books title "Just Grandma and me" sold over 4 million copies in seven languages. It was used as the multimedia de facto standard by Microsoft, was one of the first software titles accredited as a school textbook, was shown nationally and internationally by Bill Gates of Microsoft.
In addition, Mark is the author and illustrator of "Harry and the Haunted House", a children's book, CDROM, and iOS app title that has sold over 300,000 copies in six languages. Currently Mark is just completing a book on the psychology and art form of interactivity titled "Understanding Kids, Play, and Interactive Design: How to Create Games Children Love".
