Sarah Spiers

Producer

We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.

But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.

Everyone in games should have that much fun.

Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
