Good day, Adventurer
~ It’s a pleasure to meet you!
My name is Chloe, or people call me Oe (pronounced Oh Ee) ♥ My pronouns are they/she
I’m a proud northerner, who has been making art, playing games and wearing hats since ‘99
When I resonate with a piece of creative work, it feels like magic, and I try to inspire this feeling in others with my emphasis on inclusivity, accessibility and the user-centered mindset.
I have a plethora of passions and professional pursuits. I draw and paint; write and perform comedy; play and follow live music; advocate for queer, gender, disability and class equity; code; give talks and lectures; as well as currently working in AAA games development.
People say it is better to avoid being a “jack of all trades”, that I should pick something to master - I believe that this is not my weakness but my strength. I am a find that feeling of creative magic in all I do, it fuels my success, enthusiasm and determination in both the technical and the artistic. And I hope to help you find it too!
