Elizabeth Keegan
I build game design programs and teach in them. Most of my career has been spent creating environments where students develop trust with each other first, then learn to make games together. I moved to Denmark in 2025 and I am looking for work here in curriculum design, learning design and assessment.
How I got here
I came up through studio practice, where you make the thing yourself. Game design pulled me the other way. A game doesn't exist until people play it, and the real work is watching how they move through it and listening to how they talk about it afterward. That human-centered habit shaped my teaching, and later it shaped how I led. While building the Game Art and Design program, I worked closely with Animation, Illustration and Comics, and the work got better every time someone from another field was in the room. I would rather move with a team than carry a project alone. I moved to Denmark in 2025 and I'm looking for that kind of work here.
Alternative Control projects connected digital and physical in ways that captured student imagination, and shaped my own studio practice.
