Adrien became interested in art when his older sister began taking weekend art classes from a local Chinese artist. Adrien’s passion for art and career in a creative field was not a straight-forward path. However, Adrien did not waltz out of university and into his role at Xbox. Adrien grew up hoping to do something creative in his career, so being able to work and make meaningful connections with other artists for the gaming industry is something Adrien is extremely grateful for everyday. Today, Adrien flies around the world getting to know different artists and companies that are specialized in specific game development skills to see if they would be a good fit with the team at 343 Industries. Adrien’s current role as the Outsource and Vendor Manager at 343 Industries, an American game developer part of Xbox Game Studios, didn’t even exist yet. When Adrien Cho graduated from U of A in 1998 with his BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Microsoft was still three years away from releasing their first gaming console, the Xbox. In this series, How Did I Get Here?, I will be sitting down (and logging onto Zoom) with individuals that have a career path that resembles a roller coaster track more than a sidewalk.
