Early Career
twitch.tv/emilygamedev
(2018)
Through 2018, I devoted ~20 hours per week to running a Twitch stream. I played a variety of games and streamed development of GRIMOIRE. With the goal of inclusivity in mind, I built a small but loyal community of 200 followers in six months. I ran a Discord community for my stream too, and received funding through the inaugural BroadcastHER grant to help my streaming career flourish. These experiences allowed me to start my community management career, and also lended me the skills and confidence to run the official Twitch stream of Balancing Monkey Games.
WiDGET
(2018)
For one year, I sat on the Board of Directors for WiDGET, an intersectional not-for-profit feminist
organisation focused on the retention of and support of marginalised developers. My role as Board Member involved providing advice and insight from a student and graduate perspective.
Make Faces is a mobile app prototype I worked on with friends. Led by Cole Williams, my role on the project was UX, User Research, Testing, and Marketing.

W+NBSG
(2016-2018)
The Waddlesome Feud is my first finished game project, with a 4 month development cycle. The focus of the project was to learn about scope, timelines, and teamwork. The goal as a team was to deliver a brawler-style game to show classmates. I was Producer for this project, and I also took on marketing-esque duties.
Women + NB Studying Games was a community I founded for Women and NB Folk studying game dev at any level. Recent alumnus, mentors, educators and community leaders also joined and contributed. The community grew to over 250 members, reaching many international destinations.
