Über mich
I practice Game Design across a variety of different fields, with a recent focus on Balanced System Design and Gameplay-Integrated Narrative Design. I got started in Game Design by developing my own Pen&Paper-Roleplaying-Game 'Terrumina', and turned professional after displaying my talents to a small studio, which provided my skills the nurturing ground to develop further over the course of my works. My fundamentals in Design Thinking come from an academic background in Psychology, Neuroscience and Philosophy, equipping me with enhanced creative problem-solving skills, analytical attention to detail and predictive models of human/player behavior. I ended up diversifying my talents with project management, team development and leadership skills as I realized the urgent need for those skills in small and big teams alike, and the unique cross-overs these fields have with the approach of top-down game design.
