Life update: I started my new job this week 🎉

Just like that GDC is over. What an incredible week. I didn’t expect to feel so emotional saying goodbye!

Arrived in SF and my Uber is an Escalade!! I feel like Miley Cyrus in the Party in the USA music video

GDC is upon us! I fly out tomorrow. Will I survive more in-person networking/socializing in 1 week than I’ve done in the last 4 years combined? Be kind to us introverts, San Francisco. 😂

Received word today that I made it to the 4th and final interview next week. 😱 Pls send any and all final round interview tips my way cause my nerves have made all knowledge leave my brain.

Toddler has a mystery illness and was up alllll night. Today I have a 3rd-round interview. Let’s hope my sleepy brain cooperates.

Game devs, what do you wear to GDC? My closet is entirely crewneck sweatshirts and oversized graphic tees. Help me!

Currently snowed in so we're having a family video game day. We're introducing my son to Spyro! So far he just likes to walk around and repeatedly spit fireballs. 😂

It’s been a while since I introduced myself, so I made a little graphic. 😁 I got to do a lot of cool game dev things in 2023. Hoping for even more in 2024!

Why is my toddler crying, you ask?

Because I gave him chicken nuggets instead of allowing him to eat dog food.
