Hi I’m Woody. I’m a real person. That feels like a weird thing to have to say. Though you may have seen my avatar, it’s been a skin-and-bone, non-robot me behind the scenes.
Every since I was very small, I’ve been creating things and experimenting with media formats. I’ve been making games and films for most of my life. I like eating churros, running D&D tables, playing old video games, and wearing skateboarding shoes, (and sometimes skateboarding I guess)
I'm married with two cats. If I could turn my body into a cat-sized RV trailer, I would bring them everywhere. (This may be a feature I need to build into my streams.) My wife could also hang out in there too. That would be cool.
Health problems are hard! I live with ADHD and generalized anxiety disorder. In 2019 I had to end my Brazilian jiu-jitsu hobby due to frequent skin infections and eczema. I have some strange stomach issues and I could not burp until I was almost in my 30s. I’m a big advocate for all of the communities that spring up around these issues. I have also been frequently observed burning the roof of my mouth on hot pizza, but I think that’s probably of lesser concern.
Fundamentally my work is about trying to create more human experiences in virtual spaces and the fact that I get to do this as a job is extremely humbling. If you’re reading this, you’ve been a part of that somehow, so thank you!
