Strevia Studios

aka Phillip Nissen

The Strevia Story

I was trying to figure out a developer name to give myself. When I put my last name, Nissen, into Google Translate and put it in Hebrew letters, it then meant "sneeze" in Yiddush. In Old Bratton, "sneeze" translates to Strevia. And thats how I got my name.
