From Player to Designer
I’ve always been drawn to experiences that challenge the mind, spark creativity, and tell unforgettable stories. My journey began as a player dissecting the mechanics of my favorite games, evolved through academic study in computer science with a focus on game design, and grew into a career building systems and encounters that immerse players in rich, interactive worlds.
From leading multi-discipline teams to crafting tight, tactical combat encounters, I’ve built a toolkit that blends technical problem-solving with creative vision. Every project is an opportunity to innovate, refine, and deliver something that keeps players coming back.
