If I may ask, did you build out your portfolio to make your application more appealing? I know you have a lot of graphic design and illustration work, did you pick up any new skills just to qualify, or did you have prior experience in other areas that they found suitable? — Teddy Maz (@Teddy_Maz_Sucks) January 18, 2018

I have been a game developer/designer for seven years ☺️ my website is just my artwork https://t.co/7WhpceEWQs — kate welchhhh (@katewelchhhh) January 18, 2018

for those who don’t know: ive been working on @PlayCrucible for the last two years, and before that on @GuildWars2 for about four years. — kate welchhhh (@katewelchhhh) January 19, 2018

my teammates on @PlayCrucible are incredible, and the game is going to be SO much fun. it is a tough choice to leave, but this role at WotC is one I cannot pass up. — kate welchhhh (@katewelchhhh) January 19, 2018

I’ve also done web projects for various @DoubleFine games, and some art for @TacomaGame! and strangely, also like three WWE games. and i’m designing another with my husband @chadowrun, inspired by this painting I did a while ago: pic.twitter.com/5rhLvjsjix — kate welchhhh (@katewelchhhh) January 19, 2018
