Ariel / ProphetOPossumA huge fan of the fantasy genre, I also love complex universes filled with depth and stories. Besides falling down research rabbit holes, I like video games, animation and comic books of all styles, and reading way too much in one sitting. |
Caterina MartinHello! My name is Cat and I am currently a full-time student in college exploring potential career paths. As this industry is something I strive to make a career in, Pixelles is a great opportunity to express my creativity as well as my curiosity as I am very excited to learn what it actually takes to create a game. Through this experience I hope to explore the different paths in game creation and to find something that I’d truly like to pursue in the future. |

Ines SouquettHello! I’m Ines, from Venezuela. I love video games and sleeping. My favorite games are those that take you on a fantastic journey, in a new world, with unforgettable and endearing characters. It’s my dream to craft such games one day as well! My background is in Psychology and International Relations, with a focus on Social Studies. My goal is to find a role as a Narrative Designer or Game Designer in the future. Nice to meet you all, can’t wait to make some games together!

Jess SouzaHi, I’m Jess! I’m a Sr. PMM from Brazil, currently providing services for Unity in Montreal. I’m passionate about entertainment and gaming, so I’m thrilled to have found Pixelles. In my spare time, I play video games, teach tricks to my cat, enjoy fantasy shows with my family, and—since finding Pixelles—have started creating games! I love chatting and sharing insights. Let’s connect ;D

Klarissa ArmadaI am passionate about the Arts, especially Music, and spend most of my time either practicing piano, violin, or rollerblading (+ bothering my Cat who rules my world). And yes, I consider rhythm games a form of practice :3

Leah ChurchillHello! I’m a writer and filmmaker originally from LA. I just recently moved to Montréal after spending over a decade living in Shanghai, China. I have some experience writing for games, but I’ve been really eager to make my own game! My hope is to create something that has a handmade, personal feeling that I admire so much in the games I love.

Tabitha DurbinI am a small but mighty 3D artist hailing from the state of Georgia with big dreams for Montréal. I’ve been making art and playing games for a while now, and I think it’s about time I finally learn how all those games are put together. I have great interest in the ways art can impact our lives and communities, and I hope to make things someday that can bring about even small change for the better. |
