Elena Höge
Elena is the founder and managing director of Yaldi Games. She started foraging in 2019, accompanying her parents on one of their foraging walks. Through this journey she discovered the health and wellbeing benefits of nature, so she decided to fuse her passion for foraging and gaming and set out to make games that spark curiosity and empower real life activities. She has won over 11 grants and awards for Yaldi Games, grown a team and produced a demo of their debut title: Wholesome - Out and About
