Bio Corinne Scrivens was born and raised in sunny Southern California, growing up with a love of video games and a passion for art. After college she moved up to less sunny Seattle to pursue a career that could combine these interests and joined the game industry in 2008. She got her start in game art at ArenaNet working on characters for Guild Wars 2. From there she joined Bungie and worked her way up to Senior Character Artist creating iconic characters like Eris, Amanda Holliday and Petra Venj for the Destiny franchise. Currently she is a Principal Artist at Polyarc having fun working on a little bit of everything developing VR games like Moss. When she’s not making games or art Corinne can be found exploring the Pacific Northwest with her husband or spoiling her dog Boba.
