She’s currently producing a next-generation game at Ubisoft's Montreal Studio and interviewing others in the gaming industry for a TV show called Electric Playground in her spare time. She says, "I believe that, for games to reach the next level as an entertainment medium and art form, they have to do two things: reach a new audience and deal with subjects that are relevant to people's every day lives."

Jamba Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Gabrielle Kent Professor in Computer Games Art and Design at the University of Teesside Kent has worked in games for nine years as a freelance concept and graphic artist, and currently as senior lecturer in Computer Games Art and Design at Teesside University. She directs Animex Game, part of the Animex International Festival of Animation and Computer Games and is a key member of the steering committee for the first annual conference for Women in Games U.K. She says, "I’ve delivered a number of workshops in schools to give the pupils a feel for the roles at a games company. Girls usually assume that making computer games is all about programming and mathematics. They’re always surprised by the art and design-related roles and see potential careers opening up to them." She's a lecturer at my uni. Shall be meeting her in about 2 weeks!
