Jake 'Gilla' Gilfillan

Senior Technical Designer

My passion is in both making things work and helping people work better. I’ve spent the last 10 years working closely with people across disciplines and industries to sustainably ship effectively and on time.

Professional Work
#

My professional experience includes working on first class shooters, supporting a live game’s seasonal and expansion content, and working to bring a new/revitalized IP to market. My roles have been heavily focused on force multiplying the impact of creators, collaborating across disciplines, and finding opportunities to improve the quality and stability of a content workflow.

Personal Projects
#

I am an avid fan of Game Jams, and have participated in multiple Ludum Dare events, the Global Game Jam, Scream Jam, Game Makers Toolkit Jam, and more. These events have given me the opportunity to work with a wide range of tools, collaborate with people from backgrounds, and take on different roles.

My Philosophy
#

My belief is that great people can make their best work when they feel their tools and processes are an extension of how they think. My approach is centered around craft excellence through force multiplication, creator advocacy, and process and workflow improvement.
