yo, we'll be out at GDC next month ✨ if you want to talk about the weird / cool spaces where digital and physical things overlap (custom-made controllers & hardware; alternative arcade cabinets; one-of-a-kind artefacts for streamers; events, etc), we'll be around 💜
nice to see the Buckshot Roulette (by @mikeklubnika.bsky.social / @cr-games.bsky.social) production we were part of being back at k4sen-con! (100k on twitch right now; wild). hugely cool to have contributed to it coming together last year. www.twitch.tv/k4sen

I'm doing visuals at the @nyugamecenter.bsky.social party at @wonderville.nyc! I'm excited to collab with @wendyleftmealone.bsky.social 7 years after we first worked together. We've both evolved as artists so much, and we're making a unified audiovisual experience together. I will try something new!
