Meet the Team: Marianna Polyakova, Product Manager

This week we bring you a special Mall Stars edition of our Meet the Team series, featuring team member Marianna Polyakova.

1. What is your position here at PlayFirst?
I am a Product Manager here at PlayFirst. I make sure our games are fun to play and spend a lot of time thinking about how we can make our products better for our fans!

2. Which Mall Star is your favorite? Why?
I really like Walter Wily (the old grandpa!) because he is very cute and comical!

3. What is your favorite part about your job?
I very much enjoy being part of a team. At the end of the day, we all work collectively to create something that we hope brightens your day! Also knowing that I am a part of something bigger and that I get to create awesome games every day with my wonderful colleagues!

4. What do you do outside of work? Any hobbies or interests?
I have a pretty hectic job so naturally I gravitate towards activities that are relaxing/calming. I practice Yoga and work out almost every day. I find being active mellows me out quite a bit. I also enjoy learning and reading about a variety of topics in my spare time.

5. Anything you wish to say to the Mall Stars fans?
We put many long hours into Mall Stars to ensure players have an enjoyable and fun gaming experience, and will continue to put many, many, many more hours into Mall Stars - we want to ensure Mall Stars is and continues to be a high quality game! Most of all, we want it to be a fun experience. We care tremendously about you guys having fun and want you to enjoy your time playing Mall Stars. If something is not fun in the game, we will work very hard to ensure it gets changed immediately. You guys rock!

We hope you have enjoyed another interview in our Meet the Team series and a big thank you to Marianna for taking time out of her busy schedule to let us interview her!
