The CH team is really excited to introducing two new contributors! Phoebe has already begun contributing and Dee’s working on a terrific interview with ARG developer Ken Eklund!  Here’s a little bit more about this dynamic duo!

Phoebe Harris Elefante is the co-founder of Mstrmnd Ltd and was president from 2003 to 2009. She is currently completing a masters in media arts & sciences at Indiana University that synthesizes game development, organizational design, new media, and feminist economics. She is a little uncomfortable with writing about herself in the third person, likes playing devil’s advocate, and makes stuff in all media (even the old hands-on kind).

Dee Cook was elated to discover the world of interactive storytelling because, at that moment, she finally discovered what she wanted to do when she grew up.  A fish out of water with lofty ideals and meta-theorizing, Dee finds herself most at home with her sleeves rolled up and the grease of a good story under her fingernails.  In the last several years she has written, designed, and consulted on over a dozen alternate reality games, extended realities, and marketing campaigns, most recently World Without Oil, True Blood, Eragon, Dead Space, and My Home 2.0.
