Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and the IGDA wants to celebrate our Asian and Pacific Islander creators from around the world!

Today we’re featuring Dr. JC Lau, a producer at Harebrained Schemes, who is also on the IGDA Seattle Chapter Board of Directors, as well as on the Board for the Global Game Jam. “I care deeply about D&I issues at the studio/industry level and founded the Bungie Diversity Committee in 2017, and was a founding member of the JEDI Council (where JEDI = Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) at Harebrained Schemes. I’ve spoken about D&I, production, and careers at various places, such as GDC, PAX Dev, PAX West, GeekGirlCon, IGDA events, etc., and am engaged with mentoring junior devs (especially women of color) in my local community.” While she can’t yet talk about the game she’s working on as it hasn’t been announced yet, IGDA Seattle Chapter has a ton of awesome events coming up this year that she’s working on!
