Celeste Masinter earned her M.F.A in Interactive Design and Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she received an artistic fellowship from 2003-2006. Her thesis, "Game Environments as Psycho-Symbolic Allegory", was published in the education section of Gamasutra, a world-respected online resource for the game industry. The work reflects on the potential of game environments to dazzle senses, capture the imagination, and provide intimate comments on character psychology and/or relationships.
She also received her B.F.A from the University of Southern California, with minors in Animation and East Asian Languages and Cultures. While at USC, she produced an animated short using traditional methods and technology, entitled "Phantasmagoria". She also had the opportunity to study abroad in Japan for three months, where she studied the language, art and pop culture.
Ms. Masinter has an enduring love for poetry, creative writing, illustration, animation, and world craft. She not only delights in designing worlds, she lives to share the magic of design and discovery with others.
