Ashley Breazeale

Ashley is the Chair of NC Triangle IGDA and a passionate advocate for inclusive gaming communities. She grew up battling her mom and grandma over the Earthbound SNES cartridge and running co-op Donkey Kong Country runs with them. Games have been in her blood ever since. She built a decade-long career in product management, including three years living and working in Japan with the Japanese market. During her tenure she briefly worked with the fabulous people at Bigger Boss Games. Now she's channeling all of that experience into her own cozy game studio. Ashley believes everyone deserves a seat at the table, and she works every day to make the Triangle's game dev community a welcoming and open place.
