WHAT DO I OFFER TO A TEAM?
In my projects I am always coming up with
new ideas to make the game better.
Give consctructive feedback to improve
my teammates & design, create and implement technical
prototypes and game mechanics.
To complete these projects I have worked closely with
programmers, visual artists & other designers while working in
an agile work environment.
This experience has taught me how to work with them
and see things from their perspective.
Currently I am working on my own project, this has thought me a lot of of new skills as a designer that I am able to apply to my work.
