- Oversaw 50+ projects created for industry clients such as Novo Nordisk, Arla, Bang & Olufsen- Prepared curriculum for Master-level students alongside colleagues- Taught Co-creation as part of the creative design process- Worked on partner relations with some of our larger industry clients, setting expectations, guidelines and deadlines

Creative research project on Deep Rock Galactic, focused around creating a pet terrarium for players to gather and grow creatures found in the depths. This feature set was created as a potential side-hustle for players to engage in while not in dives or when waiting for their friends to come online.Developed between Early Access and launch of Deep Rock Galactic.- Researched community needs for 1.0 mechanics- Created technical design documents for new features- Implemented and iterated on new mechanics, level and AI Behaviours

I was hired as lead game designer for a mobile Augmented Reality game called A-real. It was developed along with a team of 5 people in the confines of "Eye's Walk" Digital festival. The main purpose of the game was to guide players throughout sites of historic importance and natural beauty in the city of Ermoupolis on the island of Syros, Greece. The game featured location based gameplay and rewarded players with local stories from the 1950s. My roles on this project were those of lead game designer, level designer and 3d artist.

Research through design projects to solve game development problems. I focused on understanding and creating solutions on game industry challenges combining academic literature and feature development. The topics I worked on were:- Designing game levels & mechanics for blind & visually impaired players- Creating designer-directed adapting dynamic difficulty- Publishing research on learning real life skills through AR interactionA standout project from this period was "Hyelight", an action game with bullet hell elements set in a city in the clouds. The game's difficulty is designed using my "Targeted dynamic difficulty adjustment system", it monitors player behavior and optimizes challenges in order to keep players in flow while providing a fair amount of challenge that is based not only on player skill, but on designer-made curves. The goal of the project was to evaluate a new way to approach difficulty creation that does not patronize the player, rather than help them reach their ideal challenge level in every gameplay aspect throughout an area.

My first experience as an assistant lecturer in the University of the Aegean: department of product and systems design engineering. - Co-created the curriculum for the semester - Taught classes on a masters level going over the basics of 3d modeling, rigging and animation in the 3ds Max Application.- I designed and ran workshops on 3d modelling techniques and rendering methods
