Jess Moore

Hello! I am a game producer with a focus on asset production, review processes, and product development. As a project consultant I specialize in coordinating external review and subject matter experts to make sure your game is authentic and approachable. I value teams that appreciate an analytic and empathetic approach to people, processes, and product.
