Ever since I was a child I liked playing games, especially RPG series like Dragon Age and The Elder Scrolls. I was mesmerized by game worlds and spent hours creating my own meta-gameplay with different challenges and styles of playing. I did not know that making games was an option. So when the very first university-level game design program opened in my home country, I enrolled immediately.

 

In 2021, I graduated from HSE Art and Design School with a BA in Game Design, spending the last semester at Uppsala University in Gotland, Sweden. Throughout my education, I completed a number of prototypes gaining generalist skills in indie development until I found my ultimate passion in world-building and systems design.

I believe that a game played at the right time can transform someone's world and this is what motivates me to pursue the games industry.

​

I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree in Digital Media and Design and teaching first-year courses at the University of Connecticut. In my free time, I like playing story-driven video games, reading fiction books, hiking, and drawing. I  am striving to land my first game design job in the United States after my graduation in May 2024.
