    uniE621 Online Portfolio
    I’m a multidisciplinary Game Designer, Sound Designer, Artist, and Illustrator based in Budapest, Hungary. With over 30 years of experience in tabletop role-playing games, mainly as a Game Master, I’ve developed a strong foundation in interactive storytelling, worldbuilding, and system design. I create immersive digital experiences, design original game mechanics, compose atmospheric soundtracks, and illustrate hand-drawn maps and visual assets for both digital and tabletop games. Beyond game development, I’m also the founder and lead designer of Dreams to Reality, an independent T-shirt brand featuring over 100 original, hand-drawn designs. Whether I’m building a new RPG system, shaping the sound of a fantasy world, or crafting visual narratives through illustration and design, I bring creativity, precision, and deep passion to everything I do.

    Dreams to Reality is an independent T-shirt brand I founded and have been managing since 2017. The collection features over 100 original, hand-drawn designs, each digitally refined and prepared for high-quality print production. As the brand’s owner and lead designer, I was responsible for the entire creative and production workflow — from concept sketches and illustration to digital asset preparation, branding, and storefront management. The designs reflect a mix of surreal, symbolic, and contemporary themes, tailored for niche audiences via the Snaptee platform.

    uniE621 TTRPG Maps
    I designed and illustrated 2D maps for use in tabletop role-playing games and related adventure modules. These maps were originally hand-drawn, then digitally enhanced using professional software to achieve publication-ready quality. The maps were created to support narrative immersion, tactical encounters, and exploration across a variety of genres, including fantasy and horror. Many of these maps were featured in standalone TTRPG adventures and published supplements, including releases on DriveThruRPG and in collaboration with third-party TTRPG publishers. illustrator designer…

As Game Designer and Level Designer, I was responsible for designing the overall gameplay loop, player flow, and combat encounters, as well as creating modular rooftop environments to support both fast-paced movement and tactical decision-making.
