Sitting on the sidewalk in tears rn reading the messages from so many people who Narayana touched with his music and his kindness.

Whenever I had a chance to spend time with him, he brought warmth and light.

That light will shine in our memories and his art, forever.

Happiest of birthdays to @ehjaredj.bsky.social, who I'm so glad did end up chasing his career in games!! 👑

While this industry's on fire, it's given me so much, including friends like Jared who's been there for me at my lowest. You are humble and genuine - I know many would say the same.

My Birthday today is also the 4th anniversary of leaving my job as a tax accountant to pursue my dream of working in games!

From crying after being let go to quitting a job after 2 months, things could have gone very differently along the way. I am so thankful to everyone who took a chance on me 💜

I got Plucky at The Game Awards!

I can't thank @jamesturner.bsky.social, Bidds, and All Possible Futures enough for trusting me with their studio's voice this year.

You made something very special and I'm glad that so many others thought so as well!

Our next event is on Dec 11 and we'd love to see you there!
