Rosemary Lokhorst

Welcome to my page.
I'm a game producer, and a writer. I'm passionate about storytelling across different media from entertainment to gaming & code. I write about worlds that are infused with experiences and inspirations from technology, games and the metaverse, and about bringing flawed yet badass characters into those worlds.

About Me

I’m a technology entrepreneur, game producer, and writer. I’ve spent a few decades climbing the career ladder in f500 technology companies before deciding to invest in and join a start-up with the mission of improving quality of life in urban developments through technology and gaming. We played Sim City in real life, building virtual worlds that then were executed in the real world.  It sparked my love for using storytelling and gaming for social impact and helped me venture deeper into storytelling across mediums.  

As the producer of Shadow’s Edge, a self-help mobile game for young people to help them face the hard stuff that comes their way, I have learned that we need to meet the audiences where they are at. More and more that is in digital worlds on digital devices and in ways that we can’t even imagine yet. 

With so much going on from gaming to entertainment to the Metaverse, I believe in the power of possibilities and am excited to write stories that can live in all those worlds.
