| 0s | hi I'm Samantha Curtis I'm a designer at |
|---|---|
| 2s | that game company previously I feel the |
| 4s | roles of community manager now I instead |
| 7s | of collecting feedback on what we create |
| 9s | I actually help create it from the |
| 11s | ground up |
| 13s | I kind of came to TGC with not a lot of |
| 16s | experience but a lot of energy to learn |
| 18s | what needed to be done on the fly in |
| 20s | order to make myself as useful as |
| 22s | possible having that freedom to grow as |
| 25s | a community manager and then also have |
| 28s | questions that I was asking about the |
| 29s | design eventually led to me being a |
| 31s | designer on the team I always want to |
| 33s | know why that motivates me for |
| 35s | everything if I understand why I can |
| 37s | better look at it from a perspective |
| 39s | that's not my own and empathize with |
| 41s | that now being a designer I look at |
| 43s | things from that perspective but at the |
| 46s | back of my mind I've always got the the |
| 48s | heart and soul of the community and a |
| 50s | good calibrated guess on how our players |
| 53s | are going to treat something that we |
| 54s | present to them prior to joining the |
| 56s | games industry I did anything from being |
| 58s | a bank teller to what some people will |
| 61s | know as a loan officer or a credit |
| 62s | analyst that wasn't just numbers and |
| 66s | payments it was humans struggling |
| 70s | I want to do good because I think |
| 72s | putting good into the world is so |
| 74s | important being at TGC gives me an |
| 75s | opportunity to do that through video |
| 77s | games my love is is deepest for a sky |
| 80s | because I love that human interaction |
| 82s | and connection on a wider scale bring |
| 85s | that good and that kindness and that |
| 86s | warmth back into everything that I do |
| 89s | that's valued and respected here and |
| 92s | that's amazing |
