What is Game Not Included?

Founded in 2024, Game Not Included is an educational consulting LLC that uses world building and digital arts to bring mindful creativity into the classroom and beyond.

I’m Ashley- I own/run Game Not Included. My background is in concept art and illustration for games, with a specialization in educational content. I decided to start Game Not Included after working as a digital arts teacher at an after school program in Pittsburgh. In that time I learned that teachers needed a resource for introducing digital arts into the classroom, and my experience in world-building for games felt like a great way to do just that.
Game Not Included balances the student and teacher experiences through collaborative learning workshops, consulting services, and remote digital arts courses. We also provide printable resources for integrating digital art into the classroom with mindful practices that center self-reflection, curiosity, and community.
