GAME DESIGNER


I'm an innovative Game Designer and UI/UX specialist with 8 years of experience crafting immersive digital experiences. A proud graduate of UOW Malaysia KDU University College in Game Design, I believe a great product is defined by the compelling experience it offers, not just its technology or art.

My portfolio spans casual, puzzle, and life simulation games, along with gamification apps and metaverse projects on platforms like Roblox and Sandbox. Beyond digital design, my passion for tattoos and body modification fuels my creative approach, enriching my visual storytelling and interactive user experiences.
