Claire Hummel is an LA-based art director and concept artist who has been active in the games industry for over a decade. She most recently joined Cyan as their Lead Visual Designer, where she shipped the Riven remake and is now helping direct the future of the Myst franchise. Before that she shipped Half-Life: Alyx at Valve, art directed In the Valley of Gods at Campo Santo, and worked as the production designer on the Emmy Award winning Westworld VR at HBO. She's contributed concept art to many other titles including Fable Legends, Sunset Overdrive, and Bioshock Infinite. Claire's furry roots go back to drawing Animorphs fanart in middle school, and posting on Yerf and the Lion King Fan-Art Archive in the early 2000's. She also worked on the Neopets art team for seven years, and has been blamed for a whole lot of people's gay and/or furry awakenings as a result. She's very proud of this. She spends her so-called "free time" designing posters for Fifty-Nine Parks and Mondo, and road tripping out into the desert to draw old buildings, and even older rocks.
