What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead creative and narrative work on immersive, mechanic-first games—building player choice, balanced progression, and cohesive modes across PC/mobile while guiding multidisciplinary teams to hit milestones.

I’m a Creative Director and game designer focused on narrative-driven worlds and systems that make gameplay feel cohesive and alive. I specialize in world-building, character development, and integrating story with mechanics to deliver engaging player experiences across multiple genres.

From architecting narrative foundations for roguelite gameplay to leading multidisciplinary teams on PvPvE extraction shooters, I’ve defined creative vision, built complete game mode frameworks, and designed progression, tutorial, and balance systems for PC and mobile. I aim to create immersive settings where player choice, character identity, and moment-to-moment mechanics reinforce each other.
