James (he/they) is a December 2025 psychology graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, currently in the admissions cycle process for a PhD in Social Psychology.  He has spent the past 2 years researching the efficacy of video games as psychoeducational material and hopes to take this project with him to grad school!

James is both the founder and the namesake behind Littlefruit Studio.  If you meet him at an event, ask him the story behind it!  Born out of their desire to make games for therapy and his hyper-fixation on slasher movies, Heart Throb is the pinnacle of his ambition and experience by gamifying his personal trauma.  They also enjoy cross stitch.
