Overdue Update: What's new?

So as I poke around my website I realize that I haven't updated my NEWS in a long time. The short of it is, I'm still here, and been busy busy.

Violet: A Virtual Influencer Project

Full Article Here In 2019 I embarked on a project that was part social experiment, part real-time character and entirely unhinged! We set out to develop a virtual gamer that would stream on Twitch 3-4 hours a day for 4-5 days a week. We spent months designing, styling, and writing a backstory for a character that would be our first venture into the vTuber online vStreamer world. We landed funding that would support the project for two years! We were living the dream. Then the Pandemic lockdowns came. Our funding was pulled due to the uncertain climate of the time, and the entire project was stripped down to a skeleton crew and setup at the performer's parents house with spotty WiFi. Violet launched February of 2020 and was debuted during TwitchAid playing Fortnite alongside @Unknownxarmy ( a ranked Fortnite streamer ). Within the first day she racked up over 10k followers from the event.. and the momentum never seemed to be just getting started. Violet streamed from home durin
