Ethan O’Brien
I’m an aspiring Māori gamer whose dream is to create games that bring people together.
Before coming to MATCH I had completed a Bachelor of Animation majoring in Worldbuilding and VFX but struggled to find a job in the industry, I was losing hope as I worked by day in hospitality.
Being involved in MATCH taught me that I can be a leader even though I don’t like to and that deep storytelling and individuality can help share my dream.
The MATCH process was a fun, fast-paced environment with lots of learning on the go!
