Born of Rebellion: A Quest for Artistic Freedom and Identity in Game Design

My journey into the realm of game design began with an act of rebellion. Growing up in a household where video games were off-limits, my desire for creative freedom became a catalyst for change. It was through this pursuit of liberty that I discovered my passion for art, and in the process of crafting games, I found a sense of belonging. Games became more than entertainment; they were vessels for cherished memories with friends, a bridge to shared experiences, and a canvas for my artistic expression. Now, each game I develop is a tribute to that quest for freedom and a celebration of the connections they forge.

My relentless passion for gaming is the heartbeat of my life’s journey, ever-driving me to explore and embrace infinite possibilities with fervor.
