Managing a successful freelance career, Lucy's art has helped bring a number of games to life, from small indie games to more recently Winter Burrow and Disney's Illusion Island, where she got to reimagine her fashion idol, Minnie Mouse. While she has found a new adventure in art direction, character design is her first and forever love and is very proud of her 2020 Game Dev Heroes award in the Art & Animation category.
With over a decade experience in the games industry, Lucy is an advocate for its improvement and is often found talking about diversity in the industry itself as well as the characters in the games we create.
