Biography edit · view history
Karla Zimonja began her working career by doing 2D animation in T.V. before being pressured by a friend to move into 3D animation in the games industry. Zimonja assumed she would not like 3D animation because she had no experience with it, but after learning the program Lightwave 3D, she helped work on Zoo Tycoon 2 for a few years.
After working in animation for a time, Zimonja took a short break to begin teaching. She eventually returned to the gaming industry as a researcher for Bioshock 2 and ended up working on other parts of the game's development as well. While developing Bioshock 2 and its DLC, Minerva's Den, Zimonja worked with Steve Gaynor, and the two (along with Johnnemann Nordhagen) later went on to co-found their own indie studio, The Fullbright Company.
As a founding member of The Fullbright Company, Zimonja has helped produce the games Gone Home and Tacoma.
