Erin List (* 1995 [CE] in Graz, Styria, Austria, Europe) is a polymath, artist, illustrator, designer (games, graphics, characters, multimedia, etc.), inventor, musician (drummer & percussionist, whistler), philosopher, photographer, librarian, scientist, intersectional queer-transfeminist, historian, storyteller, poet, anthropologist, ludologist, archer, (voice) actress, writer, cook, mythologist, activist, humorist, information archaeologist, neurodivergent pattern-seeker, and versatile interdisciplinary creative.

She has been acting as Art & Design Director at the Game Lab Graz (starting out as a project assistant, and also acting as Lab Coordinator, Visual Artist, Game Designer, and Researcher) from September 2019 to June 2025, within the Institute of Human-Centred Computing (HCC) at Graz University of Technology, where she has been involved in developing educational and “serious” video games that have a positive social impact and “go beyond” pure entertainment.

Before that, she has also worked as a graphic designer and digital print technician at pro mente Steiermark.

In 2018 she was formally diagnosed with Asperger-Syndrome.

In 2015 she co-founded Game Dev Graz, a non-profit association dedicated to supporting game developers and gaming culture.

She went to school at BORG Dreierschützengasse in the informatics branch, where she “left” early, not doing the Matura.

Her current residence, where she is physically located most of the space-time, is her home city of Graz, Austria, where she is working on FruchtFabel, a vegan, gluten-free and sustainable food start-up, amongst other things, like her own art book, and perhaps a video game.

In addition, she is committed to promoting and creating a more ethical, equitable, diverse, inclusive, accessible, joyful, passionate, loving, sustainable and regenerative world for all its inhabitants, wherever and whenever possible.
