“Hello, I’m Kevin, and I’m a Game Designer”

Based in Auckland, NZ, I graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelors in Game Design. I achieved a 3.9 GPA and received a Course Directors award for Interactive Design. I am very familiar with Unity and C#. While my main focus is Game Design, I am also well versed in level design, 3D modeling, Microsoft Office, and video editing.

I am very passionate about creating engaging and unique gameplay for players to enjoy. In my projects I try to create gameplay that will make players think and approach the game in a new way. As a life long gamer I have plenty of experience with what works and what doesn’t, and I am looking forward to making my mark on the industry with design ideas that are carefully crafted to deliver just the right experience.

I am a natural leader, and understand what it takes to create a functional unit. This has served me throughout my game design degree in knowing when to step up and get things moving forward, and when to stand back be and asset to help the team move in the right direction. This has also served me throughout my life, either taking charge when required and making sure that as a team things are getting done in an efficient and organized manner, or helping others in making sure the team is working well together. This even extends into my personal life where I have led a successful 20+ person competitive gaming team for many years.

When I’m not working, I love to play all sorts of games. I aim to play all kinds of genres of games, from shooters to MMO’s to board games. I enjoy travelling and photography, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Here are some of the games I am currently playing:
World of Warcraft

Old School Runescape

Forza Horizon 5

Escape From Tarkov

Path of Exile

Civilization 6
