The frizz is real. I was so very lucky to split my Darwin trip between The Array and the #ntscreensummit. TY to The Array & Screen Territory for bringing local creatives together for this important weekend. NT creatives are inspiring and driven, & deserve all of the support. #gamedev #lawyer

Loving the humidity in #darwin right now! I'm here for the NT Screen Summit after a couple of days at The Array. Reach out if you're around and would like to chat over an iced coffee (for me, not going to gatekeep your caffeine of choice).
