Charles Forman (born March 24,1980) is a media artist, developer, game designer, and the founder of OMGPOP. He has worked on commercial graphic design for companies including Nike, Prada, and Diesel. While living in South Korea and Japan, he was able to observe and gather ideas for his future social/flirting website, I'minlikewithyou, now OMGPOP, including the importance of purchasable items and creating "rip-offs" of existing games. From the conception of I'minlikewithyou, Forman has overseen the transition to a more casual social gaming website where "young people can hang out after school." He has been a frequent speaker at NY Tech Meetups, talking about upcoming games and new elements to the website. In 2008, Forman was named one of The Business Insider's Silicon Alley 100 and was featured in Esquire Magazine modeling clothes.
