Technical game designer

Either through creating small adventures on RPG maker as a kid or writing custom campaigns in D&D later on, I was always sure of one thing: I love creating experiences for others to enjoy.I learned coding when I started messing with Unity to participate in Global Game Jams. That led me to joining the design course at Future Games in 2023, where I finally found my specialization in technical design.Throughout my experience working as a designer, I shaped ideas with fast prototyping, communicated with designers and programmers alike and made sure nothing got lost in the process of development.
