Giulia Orsino: Senior Editor

Giulia has a BA from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Postgraduate Certificate in Publishing. She is Toronto born and raised. Her favorite book genre is Classic Literature and she is happiest when talking about Taylor Swift, hanging out with her dogs, and eating pasta. Her favorite game is The Sims because she can pretend she's an interior designer. 

Cathy Liu: Senior Editor

Cathy has been a content writer at Rough Maps since 2023. She has a BA in English Literature from the University of British Columbia and has always dreamed of becoming a writer. Her love for reading fueled her passion for writing, and she enjoys writing about topics like pop culture, film, travel, and personal experiences. As far as gaming goes, her favourite games include Stardew Valley, Teamfight Tactics, and OSU. She’ll love anything that has a cute and cozy vibe to it (especially games with 8 bit pixel art)!

David Stal, Landon Wexler and Steven Hochman: Founders and Gamers

From Sega Master System to PS5, David, Landon and Steven have watched the evolution of gaming from the 90s until today. With games getting more and more complicated, they needed help navigating the latest releases which led them to launch The Savvy Gamer. Gamers at their core, The Savvy Gamer is a community where the content is as much for themselves as it is for their readers. We thank everyone for their continued support!
