About Me
Hello! My name is Ekaterina. I am currently living in the Netherlands and attending Breda University of Applied Sciences.
I am passionate about creating immersive and engaging gameplay through technical design and my proficiency in AI and combat. My toolkit includes sketching, researching, playtesting, visual scripting, and more. I am a fast learner and I always pick up new skills or tools to help out my team and our project. I value teamwork and responsibility as I believe they are key to a smooth development process.
I am currently looking for an internship starting September 2025!

Other Interests
I have many hobbies and interests apart from playing or making games. I am passionate about polishing my artistic and musical skills and in my free time, I enjoy crocheting. I love picking up new technical or creative hobbies and learning new skills and I love developing the strengths I already have. I find it very satisfying to see all my hard work come to fruition.
I play piano on a professional level and participate in class concerts twice a year to help support my family's business as their best student. This allows me to practice my ability to perform well under pressure and establishes a high level of responsibility that transfers to my game design work.
