Hello, I’m Thamil, a game designer with a Master’s degree in Computer Games Design. I build thoughtful, polished experiences by combining close attention to detail with creative problem solving. I work well in collaborative teams and can also take full ownership of features or projects, from concept to delivery. My experience spans multiple areas of game design, including systems design and implementation, as well as clear, thorough documentation. If you’re looking for a versatile designer who brings both strong teamwork and independent drive, I’d love to connect and discuss potential opportunities.
