In his role as director of writing for Telltale, he was involved in shaping the writing across each of Telltale’s projects. Herman joined Telltale 11 years ago, and contributed to several of the studios franchises, most recently as the creative director of Tales from the Borderlands.

Sarasohn joined Telltale in 2012, and worked as the producer on Walking Dead and an executive producer on Tales from the Borderlands. Before Telltale, Sarasohn worked at Ubisoft for four years as an associate producer and producer.
