I am looking for work! โจ
I have experience in:
- research, testing and playtesting

I'm looking for QA, UX Design/Research, or Associate Producer roles - Sydney area or remote!
Hey games industry friends (please RT!)
If you receive job applications from any ex-MK staff, please consider me a referee for every single one of them.
Anyone with experience at MK is bringing a bunch of mature dev practices, and a HUGE heart for the people around them.
Jess is an exceptional UX researcher and can do all things data. If you are looking to augment your business with the best insights, chat to Jess! She's also a very lovely person to chat with. ๐ฅฐ
So, it's official - today was my last day at Mighty Kingdom. Lots of big feelings/sadness about it, but it does mean that I'm now on the lookout for new opportunities! I'll do a more proper post soon, but for now if you know of anything I might be suited for, I'd love to chat! โค๏ธ
Got another @ProductOfADL event for the year! This time a showcase of some of our member's side projects they get up to after hours โจ

Today marks exactly one year since I started at @MightyKingdom! ๐
I never thought I could work in the games industry because of the evident crunch culture, but MK proves you can be successful in this industry without having to sacrifice your employee's wellbeing. Cheers MK! ๐
With a team that's spread across Australia, we've had to get creative to ensure that no one misses out on the complete Mighty Kingdom experience.
Here we have Exhibit One in Building Remote Team Spirit: murder mystery parties!
Working at @MightyKingdom has given me opportunities that I didnโt dream possible so early on in my career. One of these opportunities is getting to organise and facilitate playtests for some of the largest game publishers in the world!
As a UX Designer at Mighty Kingdom, @rachelmesler uses science and research to help improve a game's user experience - which means she's planned and facilitated playtests for some of the largest game publishers in the world!
Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Did you know that almost half of all gamers are women? And that in Australia, only about 20% of the games industry is made up of women? (1/3)
WITSA is facilitating an online workshop on Allyship at Work. This workshop is for everyone, regardless of your role, level, or identity. Letโs create an inclusive workplace together!๐
