3D Artist at Zenfri Inc, and these days I do a lot of procedural / technical environment art with SideFX Houdini, Substance Designer, and Unity. I have a few years of experience in the 3D industry here in Winnipeg, having worked with Electric Monk Media and Tangent Animation in the past. I'm a DMD + 3DCG grad from Red River College too! I love finding ways to automate or improve the efficiency of art stuff, so I end up fiddling around with Houdini both at work and at home. I listen to a lot of metal, and play a lot PC games and Magic. I'm a big fan of dark coffee and dark beer, but not at the same time.

Lesley co-founded Flipside XR, a VR animation company that makes Flipside Studio, a real-time animation app that enables vTubers, animators, and creators to bring their animations to life.

Game Developer (Surprise!), Avid Learner, King in the North? I've worked on a variety of games for a variety of platforms and game jams are one of my favorite things on the planet. I enjoy games that create interesting social situations, be it board games which I have an excessive love for, video games, or playing sports of any kind (but never ask me to watch them!). I spent 3 years in Nunavut freezing my butt off, going on wild adventures, and conquering the North. Now I've come back to Winnipeg to do the same!

Graeme Borland is a multidisciplinary game developer, frequent game jam participant, and tall person who does not play basketball. From working on VR games at Owlchemy Labs to his daily sketch blog, Graeme is seldom without a handful of projects on the go. He enjoys coming up with tasty bite-sized games for events like Ludum Dare and Pegjam, and daydreaming about what to work on next. He also likes cats, ramen, and grapefruit juice - none of which are discussed in this episode.
