My work encompasses game economy, meta-systems, and hands-on prototypes, ensuring cohesive and engaging player experiences. Prior roles have shaped my ability to design comprehensive gameplay systems and economies across mobile, MMORTS, and PC platforms. I thrive in collaborative environments, mentoring designers and building inclusive team cultures. Passionate about creating meaningful and balanced gameplay, I aim to deliver exceptional player engagement while aligning with organizational goals.
