About Me
For as long as I can remember, I have always played games.
My first console was the PS One which I only had one game for and I remember playing it obsessively. Gaming has always been a hobby but I never considered that it could be a career path one could follow. That is until I joined a shoutcasting competition and ended up in the top 6 of contestants. This was the spark I needed to pursue a career in an industry I already loved.
So, I enrolled at Breda University of Applied Sciences, passed my intake assignments and got to start as a game design student.
While I knew I wanted to be in the games industry, I came to learn just how much I enjoyed game dev during my time at university.
