Game Director
I'm the game designer behind Viewfinder, the upcoming illusion-based puzzle game about photography. I'm a designer and programmer and I love working with experimental game mechanics and visual effects. After a video of my prototype went viral in early 2020 I decided to drop out of university to focus on development. A lot has happened since then and we officially announced Viewfinder at The Game Awards 2022.

Making puzzles for people who don't like puzzles

I'm the designer behind Viewfinder, an upcoming puzzle game where you use pictures and a camera to reshape your world. In this talk I'll discuss the design process behind Viewfinder, focusing on the challenges of designing a genre game that appeals to players beyond the genre's core audience.
