I'm a game designer with a passion for crafting immersive, player-centered experiences. I love combining technical expertise with creative storytelling to design games, with a particular focus on narratives rooted in African culture and history.Every project is a fresh challenge for me, a chance to experiment with innovative techniques and explore new ideas that push the boundaries of gameplay and storytelling.Want to explore the world I've created? Step right in! 😇
