Once the opportunity is clear, it's important to jump on it

I do recommend getting into computer science because it opens so many doors. No matter what field you want to go into, a foundation in computer science paired with self-confidence can take you far. If you do want to go into game design specifically, the most important thing to do is start now and practice. School gives you training, but consistently practicing your skills on your own is what's going to elevate you above your peers.

I start my day by looking over the task board with my brother and then tackling each task that needs to get done that day. We also make sure to realign ourselves with our goals, especially during development periods. Development involves a lot of coding and art design. As we work, we’ll sync up throughout the day to make sure we’re both on track. We also spend time managing our community through social media. If a convention is coming up, we’ll spend time organizing equipment and getting ready.
