Finally inching toward my dream of having a huge, dedicated gaming and craft den 🙏🏼 It was inexplicably difficult to achieve this as a Zillennial in the LA housing market.

Now that I’m a Production Director I’ve been reflecting on how I was able to learn and grow so quickly (I’ve been in games full-time for 6 years). Funnily enough my most valuable experiences weren’t at Riot or WotC. They were from bootstrapping my own indie game as a recent grad.

Making a small game with my own money and no game development experience whatsoever taught me to be scrappy, resourceful, and efficient. It showed me how to go from 0 to 1, whereas working in AAA teaches you how to go from 1 to 100.

I was also very extra and got K/DA nails to celebrate my new job even though it was the middle of the pandemic and no one would be able to see my nails.
