Very few speakers can do this to the extent that she does.”

“I took one of Christina’s Game Design workshops and holy moly did it make a difference. Like almost doubled engagement and 10x increase in conversion to paying difference… Christina’s workshop was that inspiration I needed. I’ve since worked with Christina in other capacities and feel incredibly fortunate to have had those opportunities – she’s not only sharp as a tack, but a joy to work with and learn from.”
