@shereefiala I miss you all too 🤗

[Jessica da Silva @Jess3ds]

@ellenjurik @shereefiala See, Ellen, I've been listening carefully to what you've been saying tonight... Do you really think that... Telling me to do art... That it's supposed to make me realise something about myself?

[Jessica da Silva @Jess3ds]

@shereefiala @blowfishstudios Thank you so much, this is so sweet! 💚

[Ellen Jurik @ellenjurik]

Last Wednesday: three #agdas19 noms, no wins

This Wednesday: one #nswea19 #exportawards nom, and got the win! Thanks @Aussieexport !

Very proud of the incredible team that I work with at @blowfishstudios, as well as our fearless founders, @ben_at_blowfish and @azzaFromDaBlok

Looking SHARP! Can’t forget all the others there too - having a bit of fun before it starts...

@ellenjurik @JeanLeggett One day... I will be old enough... 😉

@ellenjurik @_sammymac28 I like it. I can see the reviews now. "I just played it and this is crazy, 5/5, so go play it maybe"

[David Amador 🐙 @DJ_Link]

Just realized 2 of the most popular game engines start with same 2 chars.
(Un)real and (Un)ity
If you merge the remaining it says: reality

We're already living in a computer simulation!

Maybe I'm a bit late for #InternationalWomensDay but this year's @blowfishstudios Sydney office stats are that we are at 25% women!

We have two advertised positions and I haven't seen many female identifying applicants for either. Take a risk! Reach! Apply! Be annoying! Do it!!!

My copy of Understanding Comics arrived today! Can't wait to go through it more in depth, thanks for the access to your copy @ellenjurik up till now.

It's hard to remember sometimes, but slowing down and learning from those around me is something I need to work on. There's a lot of experience and wisdom in the people around me, and when I can back up, stop talking and appreciate it, I can grow exponentially.
