My journey in Game Development, Design, and the Creative Process
Who am I?
I am a Game Designer with a specific interest in combining narrative lore and world-building principles with gameplay mechanics. I am passionate about creating intriguing game narratives, immersive-level designs, and engaging physics systems.
I come from a unique background. With a BA in History and Russian from University College London and an MA in Games Design from the University of Arts London, I rely on my academic historical knowledge to help me develop new ideas for gameworld lores, character backgrounds, and in-game plotlines.
