Career
In 1981, Westfall and her husband Jon left Epyx, the video game developer and publisher her husband co-founded just three years earlier. Westfall cited a desire to learn assembly language and to work on the Atari 800 as one reason for their departure from Epyx.
Together with game designer Paul Reiche III, they started Free Fall Associates to make computer games free of the politics existing at the now larger Epyx.
For several years, Westfall was on the board of directors of the Computer Game Developers Conference.
