About

Hi, I’m Maksym Kliuzko. I’m a passionate game designer currently pursuing my Bachelor’s in Design with a focus on Game Design at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. I love bringing creative ideas to life through game mechanics, 3D modeling, and animation, collaborating with musicians, and curating art exhibitions.

Over the years, I’ve also gained experience as a video editor, graphic designer, and freelance portrait artist. I enjoy working on interactive films and managing social media content, always eager to explore new creative opportunities and bring engaging visual stories to audiences.
