About

Hello there!

I'm a joyful game developer from Kotka, Finland. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Game Programming, and it's been an incredible journey! Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the chance to work on a variety of small game projects, each one pushing me to grow and explore new ideas. Some of my favorite moments during my studies were diving into game jams with friends to learn new things and to challenge myself. These days, I’m especially excited about UI design and real-time VFX.

I'll let the pictures speak for my other hobbies and sparks of joy!
