Throw yourself out there and make those awkward initial chats. It's so worth it in the long run. 🥰

It's tricky - but once you overcome the hurdle, you see more and more people you recognise every year. Your peers become connections and those connections become your friends - and soon it all seems a little less scary and inaccessible.

But one thing I will say is - it can be overwhelming to come to these things and feel like you don't know anyone.

My first Develop I knew maybe 4 people there and I awkwardly wandered around looking for people to latch onto. This was like a decade ago and I still sometimes feel a little lost.

✨ I had such a lovely time at Develop in Brighton this year! ✨

It was incredibly exciting to see so many creatives forging their own pathways – building games, studios, and ideas from scratch. I’m hopeful and eagerly awaiting the magic and creative energy that comes as a result. ❤️

I was on a panel as part of @sxsw.com!

Had a lovely day discussing the evolution of video games multimedia with a panel of experienced professionals in the space.

I talk about it more on LinkedIn but I’m eagerly excited to see how many more games IPs and narratives are explored! ❤️
