Hello, and welcome to my blog.
My name is Josh Lee, and I originally hail from Anchorage, AK. I was born and raised there after my parents moved back to Alaska from Mexico, where they had raised my two older siblings.
Currently, I am pursuing an MFA in The University of Utah’s Electronic Arts and Engineering’s Master Games Studio. I’m currently on the design and production track. I’ll be learning the ins and outs of what it takes to make a game over three semesters, and serving an internship during all that.
My most influential background is in the performing arts, via dance. Back in Alaska, I performed in multiple companies, dancing everything from African dance to classical ballet. I moved to Utah in the fall of 2009 after visiting Utah twice for the American College Dance Festival. As fate would have it, I ended up not pursuing a BFA in Modern Dance at Utah Valley University, but rather a BA in Film and Media Studies from The University of Utah. During this time, I worked as a business and political intern at Equality Utah and as the personal assistant to a documentary film-producer at The Salt Lake City Film Center. I graduated with my BA in summer 2011, and began my next adventure in fall 2011 here at the MGS.
I enjoy movies, music, and games that inspire me. I’d like to be involved in projects that are subversively relevant. I want to help produce thoughtful non-games, and make games that’ll help change the world. This blog will account for my steps towards that goal over the next three semesters.
