Caitlin L. Conner

I’m a storyteller with a passion for making games. My long-term goal is to become a Producer who effectively leads design and development teams in creating games that feature compelling plot embraced by core mechanics. I want to continue working in the casual space because it’s a developing market with plenty of room to innovate.

I hope to one day push the design envelope by making humorous games that focus on themes not often touched on in gaming like sibling-rivalry and commuter etiquette. My pitch for Rock It! is a good example of the kind of work I’d like to be doing.

Currently I’m a Project Manager with a background in MMORPG and Casual game development. My skills and experience include:
