Hi, I’m Anna, a narrative designer and game writer who specializes in branching narratives, psychological storytelling, and cross-cultural worldbuilding. I collaborate with indie studios around the world, drawing on two masters and 11+ years of international experience to craft immersive, character-driven experiences. I thrive in remote, multicultural teams and love turning complex ideas into playable, emotionally engaging stories.
I’m passionate about data-driven storytelling, player choice, and the art of atmosphere. From live-action sequences to mobile mystery games, I aim to create accessible, resonant experiences for diverse audiences while helping teams grow through collaborative, feedback-rich processes.
