About Me
Hi, I’m Kevin — a gameplay and combat designer focused on creating engaging player experiences through responsive mechanics and thoughtful gameplay systems. I enjoy building prototypes and experimenting with mechanics to explore how players interact with games.
I’m always looking to expand my skill set to support a project's needs, whether that means developing gameplay systems, creating VFX, or working with 3D assets to bring ideas to life and get things working in-engine.
