About Alisha Thayer

I am an experienced game and technical designer and gameplay director who has worked with large, international teams on titles such as Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption, and the Tomb Raider franchise. I have spent my career designing for a mix of single player and multiplayer games.Games have been my life and passion since my early childhood. I have a particular interest in technical design, narrative/systemic cohesion, interdisciplinary coordination, technical documentation, team education, and community outreach/public speaking.
