Motivation & Goals

I’m a curious game designer intrigued by the emergent and systemic aspect of game design: how many systems can cooperate so the player can create an experience which is greater than the sum of its parts and how players can use these systems as tools to craft meaning for themselves. I’m also curious about the puzzle of each system and want to break it down into its smallest components to find creative solutions.

I’m looking for a studio where I can grow as a designer and find out more about my interests while learning from a supportive and ambitious team. I want to grow with other disciplines to create better designs for both the team and the players, where the ideas and passions of everyone involved are represented and realized to the greatest extent possible and creative solutions are explored and utilized.
