Sally

My name is Sally! I’ve worked in the games industry since 2021 starting out in Facilities/Workplace Support, learning the ropes on how studios are run, how games are made and what the different teams need to make the best product. I’ve been given the opportunity to join the development team in Production and I’m so excited to get started. What makes me tick – learning new things, being creative & making a difference. I think this is why I enjoyed working in Operations so much for the last 4 years as no day was the same, I was constantly coming up with ideas to make the games devs lives easier or the studio more fun! I’m passionate about a number of things; games, music, my cat, weight training.. These are also things that help me to relax! Playing games with my better half, listening to records, cuddling the cat or absolutely smashing personal bests with my personal trainer.
