Colleen Nachtrieb

Creative Leader

I’m a strategic creative leader with 20 years of hands-on game development experience, and studio leadership chops. I’ve led cross-discipline teams, through my hands-on experience in studio management, concept/preproduction, Live Ops, UX/UI design, art creation, and game design.

I want to connect people through storytelling. I want to create immersive experiences that evoke emotions, through setting vision, leading and growing an inspirational team of creatives.

About Me

I lead amazing storytellers, designers, and visual artists in crafting immersive, interactive experiences that resonate with broad audiences. I've published over 12 titles and contributed and lead through concept phase to a Live Ops phase.

I’ve got a keen understanding how to connect the dots across systems to craft a holistic and compelling experience that drives engagement, retention and monetization through intentionally designed behaviors.

Since 2020 I’ve actively been in a studio leadership role. I’m motivated by shaping creative departments, motivating teams and telling world class stories.
