Hello, future friends!

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me.

I want to use my creative energy and my design experience to make a positive change in how we choose to work and play. I’ve read about your interactive AR/VR puzzle work and it feels like a real combination of things I’ve learned building escape rooms and more traditional digital experiences. I think it also ties importantly to your views on remote culture and my feelings about what a productive work lifestyle can be. I love to create, and it doesn’t matter if it’s visual, story-telling, or interactive, as long as I get to work with other talented people to do it. I never want to stop learning new things, and the best way to do that is to go places I’ve never been before.

Ultimately, what really gives me energy is working with other passionate people, so I’d like to join your team in bettering the way we interact with each other through technology. After this past year and a half of working remotely with my current creative team, I've felt all of the pain points that come with needing to workshop on zoom calls using online whiteboards. But, what I also have taken away from it is optimism when I hear how people's work/life balances are being restored. I'm seeing more people at more companies begin to learn a better way to treat each other and our world. I want to be a part of that.

Sincerely, Stevie MacLeod
