Jessica Fiorini
Game + Content Design
I enjoy projects that live in the intersection of storytelling, game design, architecture and creative technology. My style is energetic, creative and collaborative.
I design and produce interactive experiences and games on a contract basis. I offer full project planning from concept design to deployment. Recently, I have helped deliver and release the virtual reality editorial piece Oceans VR: Net Positive for The Economist with Object Normal, which was an official selection of the New York Film Festival.
