Jitske Habekotté is a visual artist and indie game developer located in the Netherlands.  

After two years of medical school and one year of behavioral sciences Jitske found her true passion and started
studying Game Art at the Breda University of Applied Sciences (previously NHTV) where she graduated Cum Laude in 2018.

In that same year she also started working as an indie game developer at SkogsArt Studio. 

On the 10th of July 2019 she completed the Master Game Technology at the Breda University of Applied Sciences with a 9.5/10 average. 

Currently, she is working on an original game project while also participating in multiple initiatives that aim to make game development a more inclusive and ethical industry. She teaches at the Master Game Technology in Breda and is on the board of Breda Game City, a brand new non-profit organization that focuses on elevating the Breda video games industry and creating a professional, healthy & creative environment.

 “I am very enthusiastic about our industry. I love being able to contribute to the vast and ever growing world of games and visual media, whether that is through art or through management and research skills. 

I have always wanted to be able to work on projects that explore the possibilities of our industry and tell the stories I believe in, through the art that I love. As an indie game developer at SkogsArt Studio, I feel that I can make this wish a reality.

I believe our industry has the potential to bring about strong emotions and inspire new ideas or visions through our work. It would be a shame not to utilize this to the fullest.”
