About Me

Hi, I’m an art designer with over 13 years of experience in the gaming industry.

In my past roles, I haven’t just focused on art design; I’ve worked on both 2D and 3D projects, handled various art specifications, and been involved in gameplay design and development from start to finish. I've worked across multiple platforms, including PC, consoles, mobile devices, and VR, gaining extensive cross-platform development experience.

Game development requires close collaboration with the team, discussing and refining ideas with specialists from different fields. I’m skilled at balancing creativity with technical aspects and have strong problem-solving and management abilities. These experiences have made me flexible and able to view problems from multiple angles, keeping calm under pressure and finding the best solutions.

In the past year, I’ve been invited to work as an administrative supervisor and product designer for a new crystal jewelry retail brand. Although retail was new to me, I used my organizational skills and problem-solving abilities to help the company start from scratch, run smoothly, and see steady growth. This experience has reinforced my belief that I can tackle challenges, multitask, and manage teams effectively in a new environment.

However, I’ve always wanted to return to the gaming or software development industry. The creative process and technical challenges in software development are where I find true fulfillment. I look forward to getting back into this field, working with talented colleagues, and continuing to create and innovate.
