About Me
A Game Designer born and raised in the heart of Lagos, Nigeria. I have been a passionate gamer since the tender age of 5 and a passionate Game Designer since I discovered it was a viable career path in 2019. I am inspired by games like Lies of P for its finely tuned combat mechanics, Hollow Knight for its excellence in level design and sense of discovery and The Outer Worlds for its deep characters and immersive RPG mechanics.
Currently I'm studying Computer Games Development at South Eastern Technological University - Carlow where I'm learning more technical tools of the trade while still self teaching myself more of the intricacies of game design through books written by reputable game designers and YouTube retrospectives on successful and unsuccessful games to learn what works, what doesn't and why.
Growing up, I was shaped by a lot of the games I played. Friendly competition with games like FIFA, pushing through adversity with games like Dark Souls, the thrill of exploration with games like Road Trip Adventure. Developers from my childhood had such a massive impact on my life and overall development. That's why I make games. To craft memorable and impactful experiences for gamers, just like developers before did for me. For Players, By a Player.
