Internships can be very competitive but things that I look for when reviewing applicants:
1. Apply for the 1-2 positions that you really care about and think you are well suited for.

I am so excited to finally be releasing my interview with God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla co-director @youtheremehere.
Of course, we get into the making of Valhalla but we cover so much more than that. This interview completely changed how I think about first drafts, iteration, fan service, success, and more.
If you're a God of War fan, you'll love this. If you're interested in game development, you'll love this. If you're a creative person of any kind, you'll love this.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts 🎙️
I had the opportunity to appear on the Series G podcast to discuss my career and developing leadership skills in Game Dev!

Volition was where I spent the first 20 years of my career and it's devastating to see it end this way. My heart goes out to all the current and former employees who are affected by this.

Trying to see something.

Restore my faith in humanity 🙏🏻
