Olivia Haines is an artist and independent game developer. She specialises in creating vibrant 3D art, and autobiographical vignette-style games with a reflective, nostalgic atmosphere.

Join them in conversation as they explore the artistry in crafting autobiographical interactives and games, creating a unique sense of identity and place that resonates with players.
