Game Design Portfolio
My focus lies in game and level design, with an interest in crafting environments that challenge players, support gameplay, and create immersive experiences. I’m drawn to how layout, pacing, and mechanics shape a player’s journey, but also to how narrative, systems, and technical design come together to give a game its impact and depth. My goal is to design experiences that feel engaging and meaningful to play through.
