As a little girl in the 90’s, she was the first among her siblings to rescue Princess Peach in Super Mario Bros, an accomplishment she’s proud of to this day.

When she got her dream job in International Development, she turned to mobile games to de-stress. She was ridiculously addicted to PVZ. She transitioned to full-time freelancing in 2015 and never looked back.

She loves admin work and helping clients succeed in their business. She’s a part-time Instagrammer and is working on taking back her free time by cutting back on doomscrolling Twitter.

Aaron’s had a passion for technology and gaming as far back as he can remember.
He grew up gaming with his family and has turned that into a career of teaching others to develop the games of their dreams.

Aaron graduated from college with a Computer Science degree in 2018 and then turned his focus to online teaching. You can find him learning new technologies, languages, and platforms to then teach his students. He loves game design, web development, videography, and his family.

His motto is Keep Making, Keep Learning, as Aaron believes that everyone can learn with the right teacher. So don’t give up if you struggle, you can do this!

rob_unity__game_engine_teacherRob M. (Video Game Developer – Unity)

Hey there! I’m Rob Mitchell, a Technical Game Designer from Burlington, VT.

I’ve been developing games for most of my life and ended up going to Champlain College to turn my passion into a viable career path.

I’ve since graduated with a major in Game Design and a minor in Game Programming. With all of the courses I took and all of the knowledge I’ve gained in the past 5 years of focused game development, there’s a ton of information floating around in my head that I want to share with others.

My plan is to give away my degrees to you all online, without the insane costs and commitment of going to college!
