Leah Knighton is co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at Ker-Chunk Games. Along with co-founder and CEO Molly Proffitt she has managed to start and grow a company in a highly competitive market. They balance client work with developing their own original IP, and they're making it work. Jeremiah sat down with Leah at the Ker-Chunk office for a short conversation about how they got their business off the ground, their commitment to creating inclusive and empowering games, and what they've been working on lately. _PS: There are still a few sound issues I'm trying to learn how to avoid. We appreciate your patience!_ [**Leah's Profile**](http://bit.ly/2r9xT3Z) [**Ker-Chunk Games**](http://bit.ly/2J2vWSb) - [Call Me Phrasey (iOS game)](http://bit.ly/2xrXN7u) - [Princenapped (iOS game)](http://bit.ly/2KQr2d1) - [Rainbow Tree Stickers (for Apple Messages)](https://apple.co/2NpWQrp) - [2 Dads + 4 Kids](http://bit.ly/2YuDx16) - [Puppet Minis (Unity Asset Store)](http://bit.ly/30581XI) - [Hyper Casual Games](https://hypercasualgames.org) - [Colorblind stats (I was WAY off)](http://bit.ly/2xogMQm) _Audio Editing by [Adam Greenlee](http://bit.ly/AdamGreenlee) And Jeremiah Clark_
