I am a Game Designer

For the past 9 years I have been learning about and partaking in the process behind creating video games. In those years, I have made games with Unreal Engine, Godot and Gamemaker. Besides that I have experience with Blender, Python, C#, GDScript and GML.

I worked on the game Pizzapocalypse, which was nominated for the Dutch Game awards’ “Best Student Game”.

Now, I am in my third year of studying game design at the Breda University of applied sciences. Currently, I am looking for an internship for September 2025.
