Introduction

Hi, I’m Kris.

I’m a Games Design graduate with experience across game design, player research, community building and project coordination. I enjoy understanding how people interact with games, communities and digital experiences, using research, testing and feedback to improve engagement and usability.

My background combines creative design with analytical thinking, allowing me to approach projects from both a player-focused and problem-solving perspective.

My Journey

My interest in games started with a fascination for how players learn, explore and engage with systems. During university, I developed projects ranging from narrative experiences and gameplay prototypes to team-based productions where I took on producer and QA responsibilities.

Alongside development work, I became heavily involved in student communities, outreach programmes and society leadership, helping to organise events, deliver presentations and build communities both online and in person.

What I’m Looking For

I am currently interested in opportunities across games, community, research and project-focused roles where I can continue developing my skills while contributing to meaningful projects and teams.

I am always open to discussing opportunities, collaborations and projects that align with these interests.
