My journey into game design began in 2019 when I enrolled in an online course at Noroff School of Digital Media. This choice was driven by the practicality of online learning during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was propelling the world into a digital era. After the first year, I found myself captivated by the world of 3D and game development. This led me to continue my journey with a second year dedicated to game making, focusing particularly on mastering Unreal Engine. With great ambition, I embarked on creating my first original games. While undertaking all courses online and collaborating on ambitious projects with fellow students, I gained valuable insights into remote work and effective time management.

Despite my perfectionistic tendencies, I often felt unsatisfied with the outcomes of my games, driven by a constant desire to learn more. This led me to pursue my bachelor's degree at the University of Teesside in England. Here, experiencing campus studies for the first time, I immersed myself in absorbing the wealth of knowledge offered by our lecturers. At Noroff, I engaged in numerous extracurricular activities, mentoring younger students and participating in course testing, driven by an insatiable thirst for learning. As the impact of COVID diminished, I chose a more social approach to my free time, joining sports clubs, attending board game gatherings, and collaborating with friends in my second game jam.

Having completed my studies, I am now eager to contribute my skills and creativity to the industry
