Sophia George

Sophia George is a British video game designer who was the Victoria and Albert Museum's first video game designer-in-residence.

Career George received a bachelor's degree in Games Art and Design from the Norwich University of the Arts in 2011. As a student, George worked on the game Tick Tock Toys, along with other students from Abertay University and the Norwich University of the Arts. The game won the 2011 Dare to Be Digital contest and, in 2012, the BAFTA Ones to Watch Award. She went on to establish a company, Swallowtail Games, with her collaborators on Tick Tock Toys, where they developed the game into a full game released in February 2013.

In October 2013, George was named the first ever video game designer-in-residence at the Victoria and Albert Museum, a position she held until March 2014. In April 2014, she returned to Scotland in order to complete her proposed game with Abertay University student collaborators. While a resident, George was tasked with creating a game that was inspired by a piece from the 1500–1900 Britain galleries. The game was praised by Pocket Gamer for its "charming mix of reaction-based tinkering and logic-teasing action".

George later worked with primary schools in Dundee, researching creative ideas for games and introducing game design to the children.
