Kiana and Matt have been working on projects
together ever since they were in community college. Kiana is an animator and
game developer from LA who has always loved both art and science ever since she
was a little girl. She graduated from UCLA in 2019 with a B.S. in Applied Math,
Specialization in Computing. Matt is an animator, character designer, and game
developer based in LA. He loves coffee.
The two of them have collaborated on multiple
short films, including the award-winning Changyou’s Journey (2018), and several
games, some of which can be played on itch.io. Both of their skill sets are
diverse in art and tech, and they enjoy pushing the boundaries of what can be
done with both classic and evolving technology.
