About

Hey there 👋🏼 My name's Arman. I'm the founder of Good Trouble. We make the easiest way to find accessible games, AbleToPlay.

My journey has been anything but business as usual. After surviving cancer in my teens, I set out on a personal mission to leave my mark on the world. At first, I taught myself portraiture and scaled a fine-art business from scratch, eventually holding solo gallery shows and selling to A-List clients.

I got a degree in communications, went on to work at some pretty wild startups, and eventually found myself on the UX team at YouTube. There, I focused on empathy-driven product design to help people feel safer and more connected to their favorite creators, while also doubling down on accessibility.

Later on, I opened a career chapter at Udemy, where I founded a novel partnership between Udemy, San Quentin Rehabilitation Facility, and The Last Mile, to provide inmates with tech skills and job training. Hundreds have gone through the program, earning stable and good-paying jobs, and ultimately breaking the cycle of recidivism.

I founded Good Trouble to make a positive impact on an art form that means so much to me: games. Games are how I got through chemo, but for gamers with disabilities, it's always an open question of whether they're playable. This is why my team and I are building AbleToPlay – a quick and easy way to see what games meet your personal needs. We launched in early 2025, and we're just getting started.
