Cover letter
I love learning new things and the more I understand, the more I want to learn.
My love to learn and create great experiences for others to enjoy has led me to pursue a bachelors degree in games, start a game company with a bunch of lovely people, before taking a sidestep into educational games, and now jumping back into narrative driven games.
Along the road I have met really smart people who have taught me so much about being a better game designer, programmer, manager, friend and human being.
