As a Black Caribbean-American game designer raised in Chicago’s South Side, I turned my failures into magic. After 37 rejected drafts, I built 'Lucky Pig'—a slot game blending Afrofuturist joy, jazz rhythms, and high RTP mechanics. It’s not about luck. It’s about showing up, even when the reels don’t spin your way. This is for the kids who need to feel seen—not just won.
