About me

How I got here

I was born in Poland and moved to Norway when I was about five. At around twelve, after getting my first PC, I started making things in Unity. Minecraft soon became where I spent most of my time creating, using command blocks and Skript to build adventure maps and entire RPGs with spells and custom items.

I studied media and communications in high school and initially pursued film. After deciding against a career in that industry, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I eventually moved to Brighton to study psychology with criminology.

During my second year, I returned to making games and started pursuing a career in them, picking up Unreal alongside Unity. I began bringing what I'd learned in psychology into my design work, paying more attention to how players responded and what made an interaction satisfying. Playtesting became a way to understand those responses and refine the design around them.

A conversation with my partner in my final year helped me commit to that direction. At WASD in London, I discovered Tranzfuser and met my future co-director. We put together a small team to build Lumi: Starbound Adventure, my first substantial Unreal project.

I developed the project alongside my final-year studies, graduating with a 2:1 honours degree and a place in Tranzfuser already secured. We went on to win Tranzfuser and receive a UK Games Fund grant. When the funding eventually ran out, we had to stop development and find other work.

I went on to spend a year at Pocket Sized Hands working on the Bendy ports. Around the same time, I joined Unmasked Truths part-time, working evenings and weekends. That grew into my current full-time role as Creative Technical Director and Lead Designer at SuperPROTEIN Studios.
