I joined State of Play Games in 2011. The experience was fulfilling and transformative.
I was privileged to be their very first hire, and (initially) their sole programmer. The company presented me with many opportunities to voice my creative thoughts, and plenty of difficult tasks to really stretch my programming muscles.
In this collaborative environment, I found a particularly productive synergy with our designer and director, Luke. Our dynamic extended beyond just efficient back-and-forth communication. It was a partnership built on mutual respect and recognition of unique skills, pushing each other towards growth and generating successful ideas through our combined efforts.
Later, I stepped into a leadership role on select projects when Luke began his paternity leave and as he focused on the next big project.
