“Here’s another #EmyandHerald character!This is Leon. Leon is Emy’s cousin. If you need to know anything about random pop culture facts, Leon is your guy. Just don’t ask him what his favorite class is in Gozar Legends, or you’ll never leave.”

Andrew Malin

“During our Star Wars rpg session last night, Nathan described one of the rooms as having a pin up of a Trandoshan on the wall. This sparked a discussion since some of the other players and I had a hard time picturing what that would look like. A cursory search of the internet yielded no satisfying results. So this happened. May the 4th be you.”


Matt Page

“The year is 2929, the planet earth has long been abandoned, and her former inhabitants have made their home on a planet light years away, in the Kolob solar system. This is their story. But also the story of the other diverse alien cultures they share the planet with, including its indigenous people, known as the Othersheep. They are all children of the Celestial Parents and this is New Zion.”

“This is book one of an ongoing project that will include other books, trading cards, toys, etc. It’s just the beginning.

Welcome To New Zion will be a 55+ page hardcover book, consisting of several different stories – some in comics format and others in storybook format (one illustration per page). It will also include pinup art pages, coloring pages, activity pages, and more. All introducing you to this new world and it’s characters.

It should be available for preorder in a couple of weeks and hopefully I will be able to start shipping them out by the end of the month.”

“The woman on the cover is Liahona. She is the last living holder of the Power of the Priests, and the leader of The Valiant (the team of heroes on New Zion).”


Teako Warfield-Graham

“Our team just launched about 20+ new websites for every department and massive online digital services for Sandy City. So the public can do their business online.

I’ve painstakingly headed this project for two years. Collaborating across the US and with teams all the way down in Australia. There is still so much to do.
But as a women-in-tech, a woman of color, and a digital engineer this launch today it’s def a proud career moment.”
Here’s the launch video.”

Teako Warfield-Graham

From Alumnus Teako Warfield-Graham:

“In February 2017 I completed my software engineering intensive studies at Makers Academy— Europe’s #1 software engineering program accepting under 10% of candidates. For my software final presentation I led the build of an augmented reality app utilizing technology similar to Pokemon Go, but for art galleries.”

“The app enables art pieces we map to ‘come to life in 3D’ via your smartphone camera, viewable at all angles as if the objects exist right in front of you. Our MVP minimum viable product was complete in one week and the project in under two weeks. The app was complimented by the London Science Museum, who put me in touch with their New Media department. The founder of SMARTIFY app also complimented it and told me I’m in the right direction. I’d love to find ways the project could grow.”

“We were the only all women group, one of the smallest, with only 3 members! The project almost didn’t happen since I pitched too many ideas and no one understood it. I researched it more after having conversations and convinced a small group to join me.”

Teako is currently living in London with her husband and two sons.

Kudos Teako!
