What is life after @Blizzard_Ent ? I’ve pondered this deeply over the last few months. That’s what I’ll soon find out with a mix of emotions as today was my last day at Blizzard Entertainment after more than 15 years on the cinematics team. Thank you for everything! More in pic💙

We're the World of Warcraft Gamemakers Guild: the first wall-to-wall union at Blizzard! We're thrilled to include WoW's QA, Art, Sound, Design, Engineering and Production voices for a democratized workplace. At this crucial moment in games, we stand together as one. For Azeroth!

WE DID THE THING!!
Incredibly excited to finally announce "Tides of Tethys", the game I've been working on with a close friend these last few years.
It's been a dream come true working on my own project , and I can't wait for people to play it!
Any wishlist helps! <3

I’ve been buying our dogs’ food on @Chewy for a number of years now. And just received this parcel out of no where saying Happy Halloween to one of our dogs, Hershey. Included was a hand written letter (I checked!) AND…a custom 4x6” painted portrait of her. – at Santa Ana, CA
We recently had our summer bbq event @ImagendaryS having tasty food and meeting some remote coworkers for the first time. The mega halls here are creating more memories and getting more use as time goes on. Still early days for the company with @WeiWangArt – at Irvine, CA
