Game director and technical artist. I design for human experience — and build what I specify.
I lead game direction at Hiroba Games. I came up through 3D and technical art, so I still work inside the engine: shaders, VFX, lighting, optimization.

Design for people
I design around how players move, where their attention goes, and how a space explains itself without a tutorial.
Build what I specify
Modeling, shaders, VFX, lighting, post-process and mobile optimization in Unreal Engine 5 and Unity. I direct from inside the engine, so what I ask for can be built.
Back it with research
My MA thesis studied how roguelike players experience competence, autonomy and failure. It shapes how I pace difficulty and design failure.
Underneath all three: I've been playing games since I was a kid.
More about meResearch
My MA thesis asked one question. Does experience with roguelikes change how players feel about the genre's harshest rules?
In most genres you build competence by succeeding. In roguelikes you build much of it by failing.
