mayamada is a UK-based manga brand and creative agency using the power of storytelling to empower and connect diverse communities. Founded by two friends with a passion to make manga in the UK, mayamada has grown into a global platform spanning publishing, events, workshops, and creative content. 

​

Join the mayamada team as they celebrate the 5th year of their “Do Look Like A Gamer?” video game diversity campaign at the Festival of the Girl! Empowered by our work in the video games industry, we invite visitors to contribute to a Play Inspired Vision Board on the show floor, and a hands-on game design workshop, both helping girls explore what they’re great at, imagine their future, and connect those strengths to real roles in games. 

​

In the game design workshop, you will learn how to create fun tabletop games from scratch with the support of our team. The workshop emphasises creativity, problem-solving, and working with others, as girls are introduced to the world of game design in an accessible format! We’ll also be bringing the new Nex Playground console so visitors can experience the active side of games through interactive movement-based play.
