My Personal Brexit

In the past two years, my life has taken a turn worthy of a video game, unfortunately, without a “Restart from checkpoint” button.

It all began with the job of my dreams: breaking into the world of video games, contributing to creating unique experiences for players around the globe, and building a life with my family in beautiful (and rainy) England.

But, like in every good game, there’s a plot twist: this October, the company I worked for, NaturalMotion Games / Zynga, decided to close its Birmingham office. It’s the end of the level. “Game over?” Not yet!

We had three months before our visa expired. Three months to decide our future, with a two-year-old daughter who had already mastered “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and adored her English nursery.
