I had an incredible privilege to attend this year’s Sony Partners Connect at the great Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach last week. Reconnected with our awesome Sony account managers, met many old industry friends, and also forged some new connections. The immaculate organization, thoughtful schedule, valuable content, quality venue, maximum care and positive energy was out of this world. This was definitely a highlight of my year both personally and professionally. Shout out to Sony Interactive Entertainment for investment into long-term relationships with their partners. So great to see this recognized in both communications and actions. P.S. had some fun with a balcony view during one of the breaks. My russian sauna hat came in handy.

Going to join the shared sentiment of gratitude and joy of being able to talk about the work our team and what feel like the entire company is putting into helping get Valorant on consoles. Special thanks to Angeline Huang for nurturing such an awesome release operations team that I am proud and happy to be a part of. Shout out to my immediate teammates, who have once again proven themselves to be an incredibly resilient, knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging bunch even in the deepest trenches: Leary Salupen (lead on Valorant), Nicole Flores, Patrick🎮 Arevalo, Justin Phan! Shout out to everyone outside our immediate team, who has been instrumental to this wonderful milestone too! This is awesome news and I am so excited to see what future holds for Valorant on consoles! Let’s go, Riot Games!

‘Where do we want to challenge players?’ I had a very insightful conversation with Dr. Celia Hodent about user experience in gaming. Her book, “The Gamer’s Brain,” is a must-read for understanding the fascinating relationship between neuroscience and game design. Grateful for Dr. Celia Hodent joining me last year for a podcast episode, I finally managed to complete the insightful conversation over the holidays. Big thanks to Dan Felder who back in 2022 at Riot’s PC café, recommended ‘The Gamer’s Brain’. #ux #uxdesigner #gamedev #podcast
