- About Me
- From Space Invaders in the 1970s to chatting online before the interwebs were even invented, Vicky has been a geek since before it was cool. In 2000 she cofounded interactive design studio Plexipixel Inc. with her husband Matt. A full-service digital agency working on the forefront of interactive media, Plexipixel is responsible for the design, development and concept assistance for one of the top five most successful online games in the world and has created other award-winning, highly successful advergame, animation, and website projects for multinational clients such as Adidas, Microsoft, Sony and Volvo. In an increasingly fragmented and over- saturated world, Vicky's extensive experience in weaving the creative realms of design and tech into "unexpectedly sticky brand play"(tm) has given her a unique understanding of the importance of meaningful, engaging entertainment to the bottom line of any business.

Thats great! I am interviewing tons of producers for the site, nothing like starting something with the voices of those who are part of it.
Would you be up for an interview? If so shoot me an email at chaimeli@gmail.com and I will forward you my list of questions.
You will see similar interviews on the site now.
i'm always looking for new content and story ideas so if you've got something worth talking about, send it my way!
About the lazy creatives, it feels like I have met many of them lately. Interesting that you have been to Gothenburg. Was it "in the line of duty"?
Reason #2 as to why we should be friends until we die. Now I am going to force a hug onto you.

This could be cool! Thanks for the invite. Maybe some Lost this week....? IOU one.
