I made the Forbes list!  

It is an honor to be named to the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for my work in digital games. According to Forbes, the names within this network (30 Under 30) exemplify Forbes’ longstanding reputation of spotlighting up-and-coming revolutionaries and trailblazers who are positioned to implement real change across a variety of industries.
