Hello!

I'm Elaine Gusella, the Studio Director at HeartLoop Games and Program Coordinator & Faculty for Dawson College's Independent Video Game Design program.

My background blends game design, content creation, production, and marketing with a passion for community engagement. I hold a postgraduate degree in game design from Université de Montréal, where I specialized in social features and communications in games to elevate player experiences. My experience includes consulting with indie studios and leading community projects, including game jams and mentoring programs, giving me a firsthand understanding of industry trends and innovation.

Talk to me to share insights at the crossroads of leadership, creativity, team-building and game development.
