  • Chelsea is the club’s co-chair and Art Specialist in 2D concept and character art with some experience in 3D modeling. She’s interested in narratively driven games with wholesome messages and a sense of humor. On the side, she dabbles in fan merchandise, s(truggling)tudying in earth science, and thinking about her next meal.
  • Alexis is UCSB Game Dev Club’s programming and design lead. He got his start in game design when he attended Carnegie Mellon’s summer program. He loves teaching others the theory and process behind games, and also making games himself!
  • Hi, I’m Khari! I’ve been an on and off game programmer since I was 7, and I focus primarily on how the rules of a game shape how it’s played. I’m influenced by game design analysts like Mark Brown and Cagey Videos; some games I admire include Left 4 Dead (2), Rocket League, and Foddy’s Get On Top. My mission as a GDC Specialist is to get club members to make whatever game you can, with whatever time you have!
