What I'm looking for

I am looking for a game design role on a collaborative development team where I can apply storytelling, campaign strategy, and cross-disciplinary coordination to create meaningful player experiences while learning core game development skills.

I am an advertising and marketing communications professional with over five years of experience in digital and traditional marketing, strategy, and campaign execution. I combine creative problem-solving with strong communication skills to deliver results under tight deadlines.

My background includes roles as Senior Communications Designer and Media Strategist where I developed strategic media plans, optimized and reported on campaign performance, and coordinated cross-functional teams and partners to execute multi-phase brand campaigns.

Currently I oversee manufacturing processes including painting, machining, assembly, and quality assurance, bringing hands-on operational oversight and process management to my skill set. I am tech-savvy, quick to learn programming and digital tools, and experienced presenting and collaborating across stakeholders.

I am seeking to transition into game design to apply my storytelling, project coordination, and creative thinking to interactive experiences, contributing to a development team that values meaningful player experiences and innovative design.
