Hi! I'm Ann Weaver, a game designer, programmer, and director based in Wichita, Kansas. I’ve been creating games since I was 12, and I’m fascinated by how gameplay visuals and sound can work together to tell a story. I love blending traditional game design with cinematic narration to deliver narrative-driven experiences. As the founder and lead on Harvest Studios, I oversee creative direction, design, and programming, coordinating UI/UX, art, and audio to shape a cohesive player experience.
