Transitioning into the Game Industry: How a Nurse, Make Up Artist, and Private Investigator got into Game Production

This session featured host Juney interviewing a panel of three game production professionals who successfully transitioned into the game industry: Michelle Velez of Electronic Arts, Giulia Carlotta Zamboni of Gamera Interactive, and Ariana Marchigiano of Blackbird Interactive, who discussed their background before transitioning into the game industry, what motivated them to make the switch, and how they made it. They’ll talk about what skills they were able to take with them from their previous careers, share some of the hurdles they had to overcome, and discuss what they’ve learned about what it’s like to work in games coming from very different industries.

Please share with peers that could benefit from these insights & experiences!
