Costin Schelling Email & Phone Number

I’m Costin Schelling, a narrative and systems designer for tabletop and video games. That’s the line on my business cards, but I also have experience in almost every aspect of game development: concept art, code, game art, and user experience. I'm a skilled game developer with a BFA in Game and Interactive Media Development from the Savannah College of Art and Design and several projects under my belt, as well as an excellent writer, public speaker, and communicator.My goal as a designer is to create games that are thematically, mechanically, and narratively consistent. That’s why I like to work in so many different areas. When working on personal projects or with a small team, my broad skill set enables me to contribute to broad portions of the project without outsourcing. When working with a larger team, I can fit wherever there’s a gap and still contribute work consistent with the project as a whole. I hope that this internal consistency comes across in all my projects, particularly those I had a leadership role in, such as my Game Jam projects.Beyond my development skills, my soft skillset is my most invaluable point as a developer. I’m an adept public speaker and presenter, which lets me concisely and effectively communicate information to my team in a leadership position. I’m an excellent writer, which is invaluable for design work and communication with team members. I’m also a quick learner, which is helpful when working with a small team or under time pressure; even with skills I don’t have mastery of, I’m always able to pick up new things and get the job done.

Listed skills include Narrative, Digital Illustration, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and 5 others.
