I pray that my hurt and my stressing gets better. My dark thoughts, overthinking and doubt exit my mind. Clarity over confusion.

Peace and calmness. Manifesting.

Last week was incredibly difficult.

I want to start by saying that my role was not cut, but almost my entire core team, excluding a small portion of us, are gone.

The Creative Studios team was part of the creative talent behind many of the visual marketing and brand assets you've seen for @DestinyTheGame and @MarathonTheGame over the years. The team was formed when @Bungie became a self-publisher in 2019, growing out of a much smaller group then known as VizD, or Visual Development. We were a small but mighty team, carrying forward a legacy of supporting marketing content for Halo and other early Bungie games.

Since 2019, our team grew to more than 30 people in order to sustainably support live service trailers, key art, logos, screenshots, composites, gameplay capture, motion graphics, production, technical capture infrastructure, and more. Working side by side with marketing and game developers, we worked closely within our own team and with a wide network of external creative agencies and freelancers to produce Bungie's player-facing marketing creative.

I had the privilege of helping build the Creative Studios art team as Bungie became a self-publisher and personally hired many of the talented artists and leaders across the team. Watching them grow into their roles and become the exceptional creatives or managers they are today will always remain one of the highlights of my career and one of the best parts of my job here.

Creative Studios was so much more than just a team to work with. It was a tight nit group of talented, thoughtful, and inspiring people, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of it.

To my peers in Creative Studios: you have been at the heart of so much of what makes Bungie special. Your creativity, passion, and vision helped shape the marketing visuals for games and worlds that so many players love. I truly hope you can look back at what we created together and feel proud, not only of the work itself, but of the impact each of you personally made.

Thank you for everything you gave to this team and to each other. Thank you for showing up for one another, for trusting me, for bringing so much talent and care to the work, and for making this team a true unicorn in an industry that rarely makes space for something this special.

I'm going to miss working with all of you more than I can put into words.

If you're a hiring manager, Art Director, or Creative Director hiring for the roles I listed above, please reach out. I'd be happy to share thoughtful recommendations based on your specific needs.

"When Destiny was profitable, those extra funds were often immediately misused by leadership at the time, funneled into way too many simultaneous incubation projects or ideas like spending tens of millions on a new, unneeded 208,000 square foot headquarters."

I knew it lol

… interesting take given recent events.

PlayStation says live service games can help 'revitalize the market' 🎮

They plan to continue investing in them:

"We believe that live service games are content that attracts users on a global level, so we want to continue to revitalize the market through both first-party and third-party content"

[The Destiny Show @thedestinyshow]

If Bungie had invested more resources into Destiny, the game would be bigger.

If Bungie had prioritized overdelivery, more players would have returned.

If Bungie had preserved its campaigns instead of vaulting content, the story would be better.

If Bungie had supported PvP with more maps, Crucible would be thriving.

If Bungie leadership had prioritized the franchise’s long-term future, Destiny 3 would already be in development.

If Sony leadership had made smarter decisions, we wouldn’t be facing what is Destiny’s final live service chapter.

Destiny deserved more.

The fans deserved more.

The developers deserved more.

But I’m not leaving.

I’ll keep playing. I’ll keep fighting for this franchise. I’ll keep advocating for Destiny’s future.

I will stay loud. I will stay committed.

Guardians make their own fate.
