Hey! It's me, Lisy!
I love to create happy and healthy game development teams.
Here’s My Story
G'day! I'm Lisy, a videogame and tech leader with a particular love for building and leading happy and engaged teams. I've grown studios, shipped games, solved a million problems - I'm a force multiplier with a pinch of optimism.
I thrive in the strategic business world in order to create solid foundations for creativity.
