Passionate gamer with a degree in Game Design from Uppsala University who spends their free time thinking about the way games are designed as well as why the team developed the game in a particular way. Love to think about being able to make a new game design that benefits society or has a meaningful impact on the games industry. Attended Uppsala University for Game Design where the coursework included fast paced prototyping of games and ideas as well as multiple projects which allowed the ability to take on roles as a designer, producer, QA, and UI/UX programming, sound/graphical programming and some programming on game mechanics.
