About Billy Harper

TLDR...I get paid to daydream and foster the growth of other daydreamers. DEETS...I've been called the "Ted Lasso" of game development...and take great pride in that moniker. I manage a department of magicians at Sucker Punch Productions that bring characters to life. Folks on my teams cultivate this seed from character design through the process of bringing true emotions onto the sticks.Truth be told, just typing this up makes me super happy and proud to be part of the crazy ride I'm on.
