ABOUT MYSELF
I'm primarily interested in game design with a secondary interest in technical design, simply because I love playing and designing action style games and I'm proficient in prototyping while rapidly learning a wide range of tools in Anvil, Unreal and Unity.
I'm innovative, engaging, curious and approachable. I build practical and trusting relations with everyone I work with and ask the relevant questions to better understand other's perspectives before speaking my own. I care about running things smoothly and I'll often think of ways to improve my own workflow and will compare it with other's experiences. I'm an optimistic pragmatist that believes there's always something that can be done.
My ideal studio has a vibrant and connected company culture that knows how to get the best out of their crew, promotes and facilitates their employees' development and makes kickass games.
