Carolly Hauksdottir
Designer, reality checker
I have been drawing since age 3. By the time I was 7, I was making
puppets, writing plays, designing puzzles, and creating secret languages.
Who would have believed that a youth spent building physical mazes and
haunted houses would translate into a profession building virtual worlds?
Not me! I was 36 before I touched a computer.
Up at a game company called SierraOnLine, the owner thought it would be
easier to teach an artist how to use the machine than to teach a programmer
how to draw. That was 15 years and many, many games ago.
I enjoy making worlds for other people to play in, and the online community
is one of the largest possible worlds, yet games bring us all together.
