I’m a game designer with 6 years of hands-on experience creating games through game jams, personal projects, and collaborative teams across 10+ projects.
I specialize in mechanics, gameplay, and level design that empower player choice, tell stories through interaction, and create lasting experiences.
See how I bring worlds and mechanics to life..
My journey as a game designer began at 17 when I created my first game.
My journey as a game designer began at 17 when I created my first game.
Since then, I have contributed to over 10 game projects, ranging from indie titles to fast-paced game jam creations. These experiences have helped me develop expertise in gameplay mechanics, balancing systems, and delivering engaging player experiences.
Coming from a refugee background has shaped my resilience, adaptability, and leadership. These stories influence how I approach design, with a focus on creating connections and inspiring players through every project.
I also run a YouTube channel where I share lessons from my career and personal journey. Helping others grow creatively is just as fulfilling to me as building memorable gameplay experiences.
