Heather Kuzmich to Be Video Game Designer

Heather Kuzmich, a fan favorite from Cycle 9 of America’s Next Top Model is putting modeling aside for a while so she can focus on her new career-being a video game designer! Heather is currently studying Video Game Art & Design at the Illinois Institute of Art.

She recently chatted with The Next Bench about what her life has been like since ANTM and what her future plans are.

Sh admits the modeling think just kind of happened and her focus has always been art and design.

“I always wanted to do something that included art and creating stuff with my hands,” Heather says. “At first I wanted to get into costume design, but that soon changed to game design, especially since I frigging love games and love doing weird designs for characters.”

She chats about the technology she uses and what it’s like to be a role model for people living with Asberger’s. It’s a brief but nice interview.

I really liked Heather, so I’m glad to hear that she’s doing so well! I do hope she doesn’t give up on modeling though. She’s signed with Elite Chicago, which hopefully means she’s still exploring it, even if it’s only on a part-time basis.
