HI! I'M LEANN!

I'm Leann, a game designer from sunny Jamaica, and a graduate of Sheridan College's Bachelor's of Game Design program, with a passion for games and the unique way that players can interact with them. I especially love story rich games.

 

Games aside, I'm also enamored by mythology of all origins, as well as musical theatre. I've volunteered with my local youth theater group for several years, and have participated both on and off the stage.

​

When I'm not interacting with games in one way or another, you can find me baking, playing with SFX makeup, or watching over-the-top teen dramas.

ABOUT ME

Passionate about conveying messages in the unique medium of games. Experienced with collaborating and communicating with diverse teams. Dedicated and focused on completing tasks to the highest possible standard.
