Matt Nava
Art Director
Matt Nava grew up in an artistic environment and has been drawing ever since he can remember. His interest in imagery and animation led him to attend the Otis College of Art and Design, where he earned his BA. After graduating in May of 2008, Matt immediately jumped into the industry as an animator and concept artist. Now, Matt is working with thatgamecompany on their future game title.
A little bit about us…
thatgamecompany was founded in the Spring of 2006 by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago, two graduates of the University Southern California Interactive Media MFA program. They had worked on several projects together, including the multi-award winning student game, “Cloud,” and decided to continue working together on small, experimental games by forming a game studio that would focus on these projects.
thatgamecompany designs and develops artistically crafted, broadly accessible video games that push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. We respect our players and want to contribute meaningful, enriching experiences that touch and inspire them.We seek talent that values integrity and personal growth within an environment of intense collaboration and experimentation.
We call our games “core games.” Core games appeal not only to existing hardcore and casual gaming markets, but also to dormant gamers and even non-gamers. Core games reach these new markets because they are easier and less time consuming, yet possess emotionally rich and powerful interactive experiences.
