Stacey Bates-McCue's career began with what she describes as "confusion". After starting a Fine Art degree, she ended up doing a work placement at a graphic design consultancy, leading her to drop out of uni, and she hasn't looked back since.
She now heads up Fluid's Licensing team, and delivers innovative and engaging design solutions for global entertainment across film, gaming, sports and TV. She's worked with well-loved brands including John Wick, Pac-Man, Capcom, SpongeBob, Tetris and more, and her Pac-Man Shine On campaign recently won at the Global Entertainment Awards.
As part of our regular Day in the life series, where we lift the lid on creative's careers, I chatted to her about the importance of a good style guide, inclusivity when it comes to toys and how fans of a game can help bring its graphics to life.
