About me​

Hey there! I am Laurin. Nice to greet you.

I’m a Game Designer and Programmer from Berlin. My game design journey started in 2016 when I started studying Game Design at HTW Berlin (University Of Applied Sciences). By now I have several years of work experience, a Bachelor of Arts in Game Design and a Master of Arts in (Game) System Design.

I already worked on many different game projects with various team constellations and always enjoyed the new: new challenges, new solutions, new learnings. Creating games is great for me because fun plays such a big role. It’s about creating a fun experience for people to enjoy and that is a thing I love doing.

As a private project I’m currently working on a boardgame. It is not ripe for public presentation yet but If you want to learn more please shoot me a message. I’m always happy to talk boardgames. Another thing I like to spend my free time with are Pen and Paper RPGs. Since 2010 I lead and play sessions regularly.
