Did writing and ND for some fan projects, then finally got a legit job last year, which nibbled at my impostor syndrome enough for me to claim this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!

I bring a "what if both these characters were women" energy to the writers room that guys don't always love.

and for a fun little flashback, here are the photos i've used for 2022-2025's #WhatAGameDevLooksLike 🥹 it's kind of nice looking back and seeing how much progress in my transition i've made in the course of my career

Haven't been to #GDC for years but even as a white, blonde woman (which makes me privileged in a bigoted world) I got condescended to and treated like I couldn't possibly be a professional in the industry solely based on gender.
