Hello! I'm Callie, a 2018 SCAD graduate currently working as a real time visual effects artist at UndertoneFX. When I'm not working on games, I like to make graphic tees and play lots of JRPGs. Some of my favorite series are Pokémon, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts! I've been helping with GMG since 2019, and it's always such an amazing experience. Video games have always been a huge part of my life, and being able to share that passion with girls who are like me is one of my favorite things!
