About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n

Hi, I\u2019m a UX game designer with a love for cats, tabletop RPG\u2019s, and highly stylized movies. I try to find joy in every part of my day. When I bite into a piece of bread I say out loud \u201cThat\u2019s some good bread\u201d and when I drink a glass of water I say \u201cThat water is crisp\u201d also out loud. I\u2019m an open person and I\u2019m always excited to meet new people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that seeing someone enjoy playing a game that I helped to create is one of if not the best feeling in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
A Devoted Tabletop Roleplayer & Game Master<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

I love immersing myself in stories together with others and crafting experiences others can enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently writing my own TTRPG system for stealth themed adventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Surprisingly Good at Teaching<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

Over the course of a year I have taught my good friend at FutureGames basic understanding of Polish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
My Background<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

I am originally from Poland. For as long as I remember I needed an outlet for my creativity. I made up games, crafted sessions for tabletop roleplaying games, and discovered my passion for game design. In 2022 I moved to the north of Sweden to study game design at FutureGames Boden and soon after decided to focus on UX Design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n
UX Design<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

The area of design I excel at the most and the one I find the most passion in is making sure that the game properly conveys the experience it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love UX design because it’s the thing that transforms gameplay mechanics and game rules into concepts every single person can grasp and immerse themselves into. It’s the thing that shapes the player’s perception of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make sure my life is as UXed as the games I create. When I cook I plan out where to put every ingredient and utensil so that it’s easy to reach and doesn’t clutter the space. I love taking long walks in the middle of nowhere where I can play music from a speaker because I don’t like the feeling of earphones in my ears. I often travel to the south of Sweden and I always choose the 12 hour train ride instead of a plane because that train ride is always so peaceful, relaxing, and interesting that it’s worth the 12 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
UI Design<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

I have experience in designing and implementing UI elements from working on it during multiple projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find it fun to design the layout and priority of Information on the game HUD and navigation of menus and options in an intuitive way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Technical Design<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

I have technical knowledge that includes programming using UE5 blueprints, Playdate SDK lua, unity C# as well as using Figma to create 2d art and finally the and ability to quickly learn new tools.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Gameplay Design<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\n

I enjoy crafting the overall gameplay experience of a game and researching ways to enhance the game experience with gameplay elements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
