Donald BarrettAdvanced DesignerInsomniac Games

Donald began his journey in games when he was seven years old. He was obsessed with the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon franchises growing up and knew immediately he wanted to be in game development when he grew up. He got his hands on Maya, Photoshop and Unreal Engine with a group of friends in high school and began developing personal projects to build his portfolio. He attended Gnomon School of Visual Effects taking individual classes to further his knowledge and portfolio. After a year of taking classes, he broke into the game industry starting as a Quality Assurance tester for Disney Interactive working on Disney Infinity 3.0. Through various networking opportunities, he had the privilege of joining Disney Publishing to develop promotional content for their children's books. Soon after finishing at Disney, he joined Insomniac Games to develop Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4 and has since continued climbing the ranks of design. Donald works from home and enjoys spending time with his wife and son.
