Hi, I’m Jake Wyly Kanowitz, a game developer and writer with a background in Interactive Entertainment from USC. I’ve built and written content for games, including screenplay work, and collaborated across teams to ship polished experiences.
In addition to games, I’ve gained experience in student leadership and administrative roles, which have sharpened my organization and communication skills, and I enjoy turning creative ideas into playable experiences.
