It’s with all this in mind that I’ve been trying to increase awareness of the games industry. Too many people remain unaware that a future career is there for the taking. It’s a totally viable industry to work within, and there’s room for so many different people, demographics and passions. If you excel at something, no doubt there will be a need for it. I hope and believe that over time the currently minority demographics, such as women, will prosper. The importance of women in the media industry grows every day, and the world is starting to recognise that talented, hard working people from every corner of life can find a home in video games. It’s our duty to spread this aspiration to younger generations.
