About me

I’m an independent Creative Technologist & Game Designer living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with a solid mix of technical and artistic experience with a M.Sc. in Media Technology and a B.Sc. in Computer Science.Over the years, I have been able to work on a range of projects, including games, software, and tech installations, covering design, development, art, and management.Since childhood, I’ve taught myself digital art, which helps me shape and communicate the creative projects I take part in.For more about my experience and education, check out my resume below.

Game Design & development

My expertise lies in game design, whether it’s creating engaging board and card games or developing digital games. I also work on gamification projects to add a playful touch to various experiences, and am exploring the potential of XR and VR in my work.

Creative Technology

Since beginning my studies in computer science, especially since my Master’s degree, I have been exploring the potential of technology for innovative projects.I’ve had the chance to work on a variety of projects and gain experience with several languages and tools, including Python, Processing, C# / Unity, Arduino, JavaScript, Swift and more. This has built an affinity for understanding the use of technology and development tools for prototyping exciting ideas.

Workshops & Talks

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and approach to work through workshops and talks. I’ve had the opportunity to create, organise, and facilitate several workshops independently for companies and trainees. These workshops cover topics such as getting familiar with technology, an introduction to game design and prototyping, or even the benefits of iterative game design for serious purposes.
