This was so hard but I wound up going with the ones that I think about when doing design / my general sensibilities! (But man it was hard to narrow it to just 9 😭 most honorable mention is Paper Mario TYD)

Hello! I'm finally doing the thing of migrating my old twitter posts to here... will be exciting to revisit some old memories and projects :') I don't fully understand bluesky yet but hi I'm Michelle and I've made some cool games with themes of hope, wonder, and empathy (and other magical things!)
