Naughty Dog UI designer and illustrator Alexandria Neonakis joins us this week to share some stories about working on The Last of Us, her experiences in getting a visa to work in the United States, and the influence nostalgia has on her work.
There’s also a ton of pop culture talk in this episode, including some of our favorite films and games. And thanks John Sweeney for the Godfather shoutout!

“Some things work for some people – our brains are all so different, based on so many factors, that what works for one person is not guaranteed to work for everybody. I got really caught up in seeing other people’s rough sketches that looked so much better than mine, and it wasn’t until I just let that go that I accepted: ‘I’m different.’”
