Orange County is such an amazing place to live. It was beautiful to see so many people out today. Diversity is the whole point. ❌👑

Feeling the GDC fomo this week! Here are a few things I enjoy about that specific conference: Incredible speakers. There is always something to learn Roundtables. I love hearing how other companies are facing challenges Parties. Just go! You’ll meet some great people.

Post you from a different era… She was a Hollywood scene queen. Every weekend at Club Bang, aka hipster central. She was 20.

Double yolks, in this economy?! I feel wealthy ☺️

This is the face of a little lady who would very much like to investigate my dinner bowl.

Hot take on fantasy books… I don’t like it when they replace swear words with thematic ‘swears’. It makes me not take the scene seriously 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are two kinds of people on the first day after a long break…

Hopping on my work computer the night before break ends is like uncovering an ancient civilization that left behind clues. What do these notes even mean?!

Hyping myself up for work to start again on Monday…. What’s the best part of working in Game Dev for you?

✨2025 Goal ✨ • Be Present in the Game Dev Community • Tap Back in to Creativity • Write and Reflect Daily • Increase my Cardio Fitness Alright friends… I would LOVE your help and advice with goal #1. This seems to be the place where the GameDev is collecting now, how do you get involved?

I want to talk about ✨Goals✨ I take goal setting very seriously. For the last few years I’ve set a few specific goals, wrote them down and then tracked them monthly. Here were my 2024 Goals: • Improve my Physical Wellbeing • Spend time in Nature • Build and Tend a Garden • Calm the Storm at Work

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Producer: To reach a full cup by Q4, we’ll need to get the cup at least half full by Q1. The last 50% always takes longer.

Games industry friends… we’ve all agreed that this is the week where nothing substantial gets done, right? 👀🤝

Show me your pet and what they were named after.

Fall garden salad! Did I mention I like gardening? 🌿💚

Four games I’ve worked on: (Can not wait to replace that bonfire logo with something more specific…)

Enjoy looking at really great art with a special relationship with color? Check out my good friend Stephanie! She’s been inspiring me for decades 💙

Sometimes new things end up on my desk… who is this guy?! #kpopfans help me out!

Busy week ahead… let’s begin! - New hire starting (yay!!) - 4 remote folks in office this week - The ‘weird month’ is almost upon us with Thanksgiving around the corner - Migration to Airtable… 🤞🏻

Four albums to introduce my taste:

Just finished the All Souls series today. Really good story! If you’re in to vampires and witches and things like that, this was a great read.

Ok ok, intro post for new platform! 🔥 Sr. Producer at Bonfire Studios ✨ Former VFX Artist 👾 Video Games Are Life 🔮 A Little Bit Witchy ✈️ Lots of Travel 🌿 Garden Enthusiasts 🐶 Dog Person 📣 Unapologetic Extrovert I love meeting new passionate people and building communities. ❤️

Pretty excited about the potential of this community for Game Dev chat. I’ve been missing that the last few years. I would love to connect with… Producers VFX Artists Multiplayer Online Game Devs PvP Game Devs Nice People Who Make Games Anyone Who Likes Dogs or Cats 💚 #gameDev

I'm presenting at the IGDA GUR SIG 2024 Online Speaker Series about Arachnophobia Mode in WoW! This was a cool intersection between #GamesUR, #GameDesign, & #a11y. There's lessons here for any studio looking at arachnophobia a11y in their game. The video goes live on Friday, November 15th!

Career transitions are wild. I love change though, it’s why I got in to vfx to begin with. Sometimes you draw, sometimes you code and it is both artistic and logical. In production, I still use the artistic and logical while adding in empathetic and lots of systems thinking. I love it.

I suppose I should start by paying my dog tax. This is Jade. She’s a part time demon, full time bowling ball and we love her. 💚
