About
I’m Yelzhan Nurtileu, a product, graphic, and games designer who builds end-to-end experiences and ships them. I designed and built SuRey solo—a trilingual health app for iOS and Android—covering hydration, nutrition, medication reminders, and an AI assistant, then took care of the interface system and retention loop (mascot-led progression, levels, streaks, and real-world rewards) as well as the full launch kit. 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. I’m currently pursuing BA (Hons) Games Design at UAL in London, with a strong focus on interaction, visual systems, prototyping, and audience research.
