When and why did you study at the academy?

I studied Game and Interactive Media Development at ADA in 2017. I had studied psychology as a BA before that and wanted to widen my horizon. Being interested in games I decided to take a more practice oriented learning experience and the course seemed ideal for me.

Where are you now?

Currently, I am living near Stockholm, Sweden, and work as a Staff (Senior) Technical Artist on an MMO project, where I contribute to developing and optimizing complex systems that push creative and technical boundaries. I’m also channeling my love for quirky games and vibrant art styles into Project GoldHeart, a third-person pirate adventure that I’m building as a solo!

Before 2023 I worked for the company Seamonster in Cape Town for 6 years.

What was your biggest take away from studying at ADA?

Learning not only how the tools work and how a production is actually working but everything else, like team communication, the problem solving aspect of our work, which I enjoy the most, and how to take the organize teams around the technical aspects of our projects without losing the creative edge.
