Jasmine's skills as an artist were put to good use in Sam's first indie game Ruminate. Despite this early success in getting paid to create art for a game, over a year of sending out applications has led to little or no paying work for Jasmine. As she explains to Sam when contacted about doing more art for Sam's next game she's working on the disappointment of countless rejections and mounting pressure from bills forced Jasmine to take on a job at her mother's realty business in order to make ends meet.
