Georgiou grew up with a passion for card games and always had a competitive streak. She studied broadcasting in college and even had a background in performing, which helped her excel as a commentator. But after a few years in the industry, she wanted a more stable career and leveraged her skills into game design.

She believes her communication skills and love for card games have been instrumental in her success in game design. "I've always been a competitive player and I have a deep understanding of the game and its mechanics," Georgiou said. "But my background in broadcasting has also helped me communicate effectively with the team and convey our design goals to players."

Georgiou enjoys the collaborative nature of game design at Blizzard. "It's amazing to work with such a talented and dedicated team," she said. "And the support and resources available to us make it possible for us to create truly innovative and engaging content for players."

One of the things Georgiou is most excited about is the upcoming Death Knight class, which she believes will add a new level of depth and strategy to the game. "The team is always looking for ways to improve and innovate," she said. "And the Death Knight class is a great example of that."
