Getting to Knowmade: Fi Harvey
Fi Harvey
Finance and Operations Manager
Fi is the marvellous woman who keeps so much more than our finances running. Without her, we’d be several creeks deep and without so much as a splinter of a paddle. A distant memory of a paddle, really. She helps tremendously in overseeing the day to day running of the studio, our mental wellbeing, and helping sleep game devs find the coffee beans when we think we’ve run out! Here’s to you, Fi - we love you!
