I am a student in London. I also founded Katsumi Games and shipped four Unity titles solo, taking ownership of concept, art, UI, animation, and releases. Alongside games, I’ve been the sole designer for a city basketball league’s weekly matchday graphics and scoreboard outputs, and I built an independent clothing label from the initial mark to finished garments.
