Hello! My name is Michelle Olson.
I am currently a Mission Designer at Lightspeed LA, working on an unannounced narrative open world game!
I graduated from USC Games in 2020, and have since worked in indie and AAA! 
Previously, I worked as a game designer at Meta, and as the game director of Beasts of Maravilla Island.


Aside from games, I love wildlife, cool coffee shops, my two stinky cats, and anything with magic sparkles ✨
