I’m Kawa Teaño!

I love examining the worlds of independent games, procedurally generated art, queer identities, and fandom culture - and often look at how they interact.

I’ve been contributing project management, design analysis, rubber duck services, audiovisuals, convention running, and general enthusiasm to these spaces for a long time!

Between September 2015 and January 2023, my day job was data analysis in municipal government - you won’t find much info about that here, but it might come up in passing in blog posts.

Otherwise, I enjoy cooking, home decor, origami, Gunpla, European football, and exploring cities, particularly my hometown of New York.
