TESTIMONIALS
"Great game design has a unique combination of rich artwork and engaging narrative. A person who can creatively balance both is the rarest find. Courtney Spivey is that person. I’ve enjoyed working with Courtney and watching her lead our team of UI/2D artists and game designers. Her flare for rich content makes her world-building unique. And her attention-to-detail with how players mechanically interact is both thoughtful and efficient. Highly recommend."
"I had the opportunity to work with Courtney Spivey in several occasions. She listens to the client’s needs and responds accordingly. Courtney is a well-rounded designer/illustrator who understands the importance of communication while placing the client's work and needs at the center of her visual solutions. One can say she meets and surpasses client’s expectations at every chance. One word can capture her work: timeless."
"Courtney's art always impresses me with its composition and attention to detail. She's a joy to be around, and her thoughtful contributions to group discussions make her a valuable team member. It's all these, and the fact that she has a programming background in addition to her art skills, that make her one of the most accomplished people I know."
