Paige Silva
Design, Illustration, and Game Dev
About Me
Nice to meet you! I’m Paige, a designer and illustrator based in southern California who is taking on indie game development. After graduating from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2017 with a bachelors in illustration, I found myself working as a graphic designer in the tech industry. I got my start at one of the many transient startups that pop up in Silicon Valley, before transitioning into an in-house role at the B2B company Nutanix.
In my free time, however, I found myself sharpening another set of skills. Beginning in 2018, I started participating in Ludum Dare game jams with my friends and roommates. This rekindled a love of game design that I’ve had since my childhood days learning Gamemaker at summer camp. After nearly 6 years in the same role, though I was grateful for my job, I felt the pull to pursue my own path. In August 2025 I made the decision to leave the tech industry altogether, pooling my resources to create Festivallum, an upcoming 2D adventure game. This process is ongoing, but I hope you’ll come back and see the final product for yourself!
Though most of my time is dedicated to game development, I still love design, and keep my schedule flexible for artistic projects that I am truly passionate about. I look forward to seeing what creations the future will bring!
