Bio
Madelaine Fischer-Bernhut graduated with Distinction from OCAD University's Digital Futures program with a BDes and a High Honors from Seneca College's Post-Graduate Game Art and Animation program.
In her downtime she loves to read online and offline (novels or comics), cook Asian food, play simulation games, watch nature videos, and live vicariously through YouTube gaming channels.
Madelaine has worked on a wide range of projects spanning from board game design and video game development to interactive physical computing based installations and generative art. She finds every new program, software, medium, and technique she learns--regardless of how talented she is at it--invaluable towards opening up new ways of thinking and new possibilities within her present and future projects.
