My name is Carson Knowles. I’m a current graduate student at the University of Utah’s MEAE program studying videogame production. I’ve always had a knack for leading teams and had a passion for videogames. During my undergraduate degree I found my love for production and project management. I’m also extremely passionate about esports, as I’ve coached and played extensively throughout the high school and collegiate divisions for League of Legends. I would love to some day work on either League of Legends or some other type of MOBA, I also have a love for rhythm games like Guitar Hero and OSU!
