I am now officially looking for work.

Last Tuesday, after nearly 4 years at my job, I was suddenly laid off. I had been working in Theme Support, a kind of front-end team where I'd fix your website if you reached out to us. Sometimes I would make code customizations by request, provided they were within the scope of the time we could spend on each ask.

I really liked my job. It was a huge source of stability through a really unstable part of my life, and a way to learn more about web design- a thing I've come to love. I somehow dodged two mass-layoffs, and for a long time it seemed like my team was pretty well insulated from the issues that were affecting large parts of the company. This job paid for a huge amount of gender-affirming care I needed access to, and was a (generally) safe place to start my transition, especially considering that I worked remote. I got very used to the structure that I built around my work.

And here I am now. This will be my first experience hunting for a job as a trans woman. I'm not thrilled about it, but I have a good community around me and a lot of supports. It's a very bad time to be hunting right now for [gestures vaguely] reasons, but I'm trying to stay positive.

With all of that comes my plea: If you or someone you know needs a Sound Designer, Music Composer, or scrappy webdev, I might be your gal. For game (and other kinds of) audio, I have a portfolio site here. For web design, this site is a good example of me getting my hands dirty and building something from scratch.

I have almost 10 years of experience working on sound design and music for games, and it's my absolute dream to find regular work in that industry. I also love learning new skills and spend a lot of my free time exploring webdev and design. If you have any general leads, please feel free to contact me via my contact page.

Stay safe everyone.
