MY LIFE & GAMING
MY LIFE & GAMING
Gaming has been a special part of my life since the day I picked up a Nintendo DS. It’s become a way to escape from life’s difficult moments, explore my own creativity, join new communities, and watch legends be born into an exciting, growing industry.
As I grew older, I became fascinated in the world of esports. Watching others strive for glory in games I’ve grown to love - Super Smash Bros, League of Legends, Street Fighter, among others - gives me my own inspiration to fight for my passions, regardless of how out of reach they may seem.
The memory of watching with my friends as DRX achieved the impossible at League Worlds 2022 is imprinted in my mind. My neighbors may not have appreciated the cheers from my apartment late into the night, but that was the night that I came to understand the sheer power of gaming - the joy they can bring to millions of players and fans, the lives it can touch, and the connections it can give us.
In my lifetime, I’ve watched the gaming industry change and grow beyond what anyone ever thought it would be in my childhood. Consumer interest is growing at a rapid pace - yet as more companies enter the race to stand out, sustainable growth is only attained by few, if at all. As competitors act aggressively, gamers have become more cognizant of the fact that their cherished franchises and characters have corporate interests behind them.
As trust between consumers and corporations is tested, the gaming industry need to adapt: find their places in an ever growing market, establish a brand that consumers will trust and return to, and establish business models that allow them to do so with returns that allow for growth.
I have the skills and personal experience to analyze trends, organize long-term projects, and grow a brand into one that gamers are excited to hear about. I know what gamers want, and uniquely, I also have the business acumen and problem solving skills to help your company fit that need.
