Alyssa Foote

I’m an illustrator, animator, and creative director who is now making games!

I spent years in tech as an art director and brand systems lead, creating illustrations and brand systems for The New York Times, Slack, and Khan Academy. My work sat where brand (illustration, storytelling, art direction) meets product (design systems, documentation, accessibility).

Now I’m the co-founder and creative director of Prima Materia, an indie game studio, where I bring that same mix of craft and systems thinking to building games from concept to launch.

Tools: Figma, Adobe CS, Rive, Unity (C#), Twine, HTML, CSS & JavaScript

Select Clients: The New York Times, WIRED, Uber, Slack, Khan Academy, USA TODAY, and Bustle.

The Puppers: Louie (home page easter egg) and Mr. Bean (to the right)
