I am a game designer specializing in game concepts, system-driven gameplay, and level design. I am interested in exploring how systems, interactions, and player perception work together to shape rich and immersive gaming experiences. I am particularly passionate about designing “emergent” gameplay that arises from rules, interactions, and players’ own exploration, rather than pre-scripted, predetermined outcomes.
