About Me

I am an aspiring designer of video games and media enthusiast with a 7 year long education within general media, 3D- and game development. With a Bachelor in video game design and passion for creating, I am looking to shape my role in the industry.

 

Since childhood, I have loved all types of creative media. Whether it was cartoons, movies, video games or even fan made content of prominent franchises, I would always feel inspired to one day create something that can find room in the minds and hearts of people around the world.

Favourite Games

As a game designer and gameplay programmer, I naturally look towards replicating aspects of my favourite games. 

I enjoy a variety of game genres, but some of my favourites involve Tactical Strategy, Stylish Combat and Role Playing.

Something I appreciate in games is replayability. Similar to having a favourite toy as a child or a basketball I love being able to come back to a game I like to do more and explore it in new ways.

 

Whether it's something like a Roguelike that allows for functionally infinite new gameplay or the ever so satisfying New Game Plus, I want people to feel like they can come back to my creations as a source of comfort or consistency in their lives.

Devil May Cry, Metroid Prime, Risk of Rain 2, Warframe, Portal 2, Paragon, Heroes of the Storm and Spiritfarer are only some of the games I would deem my favourites. They offered consistently fun and engaging gampeplay as well as worlds that I could immerse myself in.

Queer Stories in Games

As a queer person, seeing queer representation and themes in media is nice to see, if only because it helps me feel normal and seen. Referring back to my wish to inspire others, I love seeing and am looking to create media and games that embrace topics of gender and sexuality, in turn helping to normalise them in modern society.
