About

I’m Ivan Yarshou, a narrative designer and writer focused on creating game stories, quests, and engaging player-facing content. I also work across design disciplines, helping shape narrative alongside visuals and sound, from idea and scripting to implementation support.

I’ve collaborated with teams using Articy Draft, Jira, Confluence, Asana, Lucidchart, and common production pipelines, and I’ve contributed to shipped-style mobile and game projects. My pet project, Bloodhood, reflects my drive to prototype and expand original worlds, while my background also includes writing work for well-known titles such as Gardenscapes.
