"At the time I was kind of a big fan of drawing. I liked drawing, I liked music. I liked all that sort of stuff, stories and to me, it just kind of seemed like all that stuff combined into one. You had art, you had music you had stories.

So I just thought it was kind of something I wanted to get into that kind of pleased all my different interests and put them all together into one.

So that’s what originally what got me motivated into doing that sort of stuff," said Gabrielle.

"I have lots of jobs offers already to go work after high school, but this seems like the most fun to me, just as long as I can make enough money to survive while I’m doing it, but this is definitely something I’d want to do for the rest of my life if I could," continued Gabrielle.

Jordan Gabrielle sits at his work station where he created Roll With It, game that can be played on mobile devices.
