Hi, I'm Caroline Zhou, also known by my nickname, Taro, and I'm a recent graduate from the University of Southern California where I received my B.A. in Interactive Media and Game Design (USC IMGD). I'm a level designer and level artist.
I'm drawn to creating games with emotional aspects to them, be it comedic and humorous or deep and heartfelt—the feel of the game. By focusing on player experience, I hope to bring a positive impact to players through my levels.
