Emily Zulauf is the Fiction Lead for a new game studio in Seattle, where she tries to come up with cool characters and weird, scifi-y names for things. She was with Pixar Animation Studios for almost eight years, as a Creative Development Associate and as a Script Supervisor for Inside Out. She spent two years as the co-executive director of a small nonprofit, the Seattle Clemency Project, and she's a mom with a four-year-old daughter. Zulauf moved home to be closer to her mom when the realities of working-mom life set in. She talks about how that's gone, and a whole lot more, in this episode.
