Fox Zarow

Fox is an experience designer and artist creating games and other playful works, often focusing on themes of personal queer identity and imagination. Throughout their graduate studies, Fox explored game design through the lens of experience design, and vice-versa, marrying human-centered approaches with player-centered game design practices, as well as areas of concern within the larger games industry including labor exploitation and crunch culture. They have worked as a Conference Associate at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, and as an invited expert judge for the most recent Game for Good + Project GC Game Jam focusing on mental health awareness and support in August 2022.
