Delivered at Casual Connect USA, July 2014

I call myself an art generalist at my own risk. During my years in the gaming industry, I’ve heard many myths and opinions about generalists, specialists, T-People, and other shapes of people from my mentors, recruiters, and peers. This session will be a reflection on theories surrounding the generalist role, how my experience on projects and in art teams compares, and the pros and cons of being a creative generalist. Most importantly, the discussion will focus on how the generalist isn’t just about production flexibility, but how generalists play a crucial role in your creative team’s collaborative culture.
