Here’s a really special moment that deserves a listen. Agatha Hood, VP, Customer Success & Operations at @Unity Technologies, sat down with Urban Arts alum and current NYU student Faiza Mohamed for a forthright conversation about working in the games and tech industry.
Agatha has over two decades of experience in games, and almost ten years at #UnityTechnologies. She’s worked with major developers and brands, held different roles from ops to creative production, and worked on everything from downloadable PC games through VR. Currently, Agatha runs the Customer Success & Ops team at Unity helping customers successfully adopt and use Unity’s products, as well as optimizing internal productivity through data, #AI, and software.
Faiza Mohamed is a sophomore at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering majoring in #IntegratedDesign & Media, with a minor in #GameDesign at Tisch School of the Arts. She is an aspiring #UX designer and pre-law student who is especially interested in how design, technology, and policy intersect to shape digital experiences and accessibility. A 2024 graduate of Urban Arts’ Core and Advanced programs, she explored design & coding as a game designer, as well as web development and graphic and product design. Faiza now serves as a #CollegeFellow, mentoring six students through their college application journeys. In her spare time, she likes reading novels and her favorite class was #3Dmodeling.
