Between giving my first gaming conf keynote FDG 2023 Conference, first trip abroad, and all of the wonderfully amazing and kind people I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with the past week I’ve truly been having the adventure of a lifetime. Feeling so blessed. ❤️🥲

A lot of game devs ask us “how do I design my game for the Xbox adaptive controller?” The answer is pretty simple: you don’t. We don’t design games for hardware. We design them for the diverse humans who are enjoying them. Catch my keynote at #FDG23 on #gameaccessibility 🙏🎮
