Welcome to another Creative Chat! This week, we're talking with Suzanne Wallace, the founder and creative director of IndieBard, a creative studio that specializes in small-scale storytelling: specifically, trailers for video games.

Just so you know, Suzanne has it all: she's warm, funny, fabulous, and so dang insightful about the world of video games — particularly indies — and how to tell an amazing distillate story in a visual format. (Plus, she's one of my favorite folks. <3)

And, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
