Louise O'Connor
Incubation Director
With a background in classical animation and an aspiration to one day become part of a family-friendly Disney team, Louise joined Rare in 1999 as an animator and was thrown straight into the making of sweary, subversive adventure Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
A love of the humour and characters convinced Louise to stick around, beginning a career path that has led through animation and art roles for Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero and Kinect Sports, voice acting for Viva Piñata . Currently she is running Rare’s multi-discipline incubation team, tasked with generating the next big Rare game idea.

What's in an Idea?
A talk that covers the creative process in games – how Rare has gone on a journey to push its boundaries in creativity and the techniques and thinking behind this journey. Everyone has capacity to be creative – how do you draw that creative energy from a variety of people and turn it into something tangible?
