Maegan Mortensen - Narrative Designer
My name is Maegan.
I design. I tell stories.
I love dogs.
Why not a dog-sitter?
Stories are nothing...until they're everything.
Stories aren't dogs that you can pet. You can't train them to do cute things or take them on long road trips while their ears flap in the wind.
Stories are only tear-jerking, hair-pulling, edge-of-your-seat real until they are told by those who treat them as if they are their everything.
​
Their desires.
Their hate.
Their moments of succeeding at great odds or rising from deep loss.
I tell stories through games because it's my duty to take a story and make it my everything. And I love writing dialogue.
​
Why games? Because I believe it's time to evolve and move beyond traditional forms of storytelling and begin to approach them like never before: through the eyes of players and interaction.
My free time? Dogs. And videogames.
I love to care for dogs and love my snake, Henry. My Apex Legends main? Revenant. Some highlights of my time with dogs and squad-based gaming:
​
-
Ability to learn quickly to different needs of different people
-
Enhanced determination and patience through tough experiences
-
Communicating with teammates in high-intensity situations
This is not a dog. This is Henry, my baby ball python. He likes to curl up in my pocket.
