Maya Gibbs

My name is Maya Gibbs, I am a senior at WSU Vancouver pursuing a DTC major and Game Studies and Design Certificate. My academic interests are in worldbuilding, design, illustrating and music. I've been interested in game development and music since an early age, listening to game developer podcasts and taking music lessons. As a hobby I like to play the guitar, sing and design. Other passions include humanitarianism, glass art, photography, collaborating with others on a worldbuilding project, and collecting various art mediums. Future goals include working with creative media students as an educator, designing professionally, learning lampworking, starting a band, and traveling the world.

I keep my design philosophy simple: 'less is more' and 'design is teamwork.' Great products come from collaboration, where compassion and creativity shape experiences that are both useful and inviting, helping people feel connected and at home. At its core, great design is simple, thoughtful, and built together.
