About Mariel Kinuko Cartwright
Hi! I’m an experienced art and creative director with 17 years in game development. I’m both a leader and an individual contributor with a passion for turning creative ideas into a reality. I\'m currently Art Director at Second Dinner, working with an incredible team on a brand new secret project!Previously I led Clock Tower: Rewind, where I oversaw the project as a whole, as well as directed an animated intro to bring the game to a new, global audience. I also worked as a 2D/3D artist on Demonschool, creating and implementing 3D environment assets and directing another animated opening. In the past, I worked on art and animation on titles like Penny\'s Big Breakaway, Skullgirls, and Indivisible, and I\'ve also freelanced doing animation, illustration, and compositing both inside and outside of games. I also enjoy contributing to the game dev community, giving talks on game dev or animation, mentoring, and advising. You can find my portfolio at http://kinuko.art!
