About Me

I'm a Game Designer living and working in Tampere, Finland. I am currently employed full-time.

I graduated with a BA in Interactive Design focusing on Game Design and Graphic Design. A few years later, I completed a second degree and graduated with an MS in Interactive Media focusing on Game Design with minors in Psychology and Interactive Technology.

I have worked as a Game Designer throughout my career, often having flexed to additional roles that have benefited from my broad skill set. I started gaming at age 3 and game development at age 10, and landed my first games job a decade later. Today, I have 18+ years of industry experience and contributions to 45+ published titles on various platforms.

While I'm not making or playing games, I enjoy watching TV series, digital painting, playing instruments, composing music, web design and loosely pursuing minimalism. I'm also an avid board gamer and you can take a look at my collection and mini reviews over at BoardGameGeek.
