I’m Stefan Savic, a Digital Media researcher and Game Technology Master’s graduate with a creative background. I’m curious about how people express identity through games and digital media, and I enjoy turning that curiosity into research that’s grounded in clear communication and empathy. My work focuses on player and audience research, digital identity, and online communities—especially where creativity and technology meet. I’ve communicated my findings through a master’s thesis, a peer-reviewed publication, and an international conference presentation, and I’m currently exploring additional conceptual research around avatar change and identity negotiation.
