Games have always been a part of my life. When I was a kid I used to watch my dad play games. One of the earliest memories I have is watching him play "Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis". Ever since then I've loved games and the sense of adventure they awaken within me. One day I wish I can inspire someone to work in the game industry, just like that game inspired me to pursue this goal.
When designing a level, I always try to provide a narrative to the world. I try to make every room and area have a reason to be there in the narrative of the world, outside of just pure gameplay. I believe that this can keep players engaged in the game, elevating the experience to something truly special.
Trying to tie a believable world together with a smooth level flow is the key to excellent levels in games. That balance is important to me, so I try not to stray too far in either direction. Too much of either can cause a staggering experience for the player.
As a person I’ve been described as considerate, passionate, creative and humble. I have a strong passion for learning and I always strive to be the best possible version of myself. I like learning about everything in the world, for example history, biology and other cultures. I’ve worked in multiple different fields, so I’ve experienced a wide variety of jobs, which I believe has helped me work well during all kind of situations and I’ve learned how to handle stress in a good way. It has also helped me to work well in both teams and by myself.
During my free time, apart from playing games, I like to paint miniatures, watch movies and care for my plants. I like to stay physically active by taking long walks and playing badminton.
