How does being queer inform your work?

I believe that queerness and creativity is inextricably linked. To those of us who do not fit into the existing framework of society, even existing in our truest form is an act of creativity. In order to survive and flourish, we have to be able to imagine and create a world where we can all belong.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I believe that at the heart of video games is a deeply queer and creative desire to imagine and experience a world free from the shackles of enforced identities that keep us from living our truest selves. Video games give us an enormous sense of freedom, agency and empathy.

Which other queer people inspire you?

Oscar Wilde, Margaret Cho, Mary Lambert, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca Sugar
