About Me:

Hello there! My name is Carmen and I am a full-time college student with a fierce passion for video game design. My current endeavor is pursuing an Associate’s Degree in Game Design & Development. After that, I plan to start a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. I am currently serving as the Project Lead, Level Designer, & Game Designer in a team of 8 which has been hard at work developing a 3D Action game on the Unity game engine!

My passion has led me to wear multiple different hats such as Game Designer, Level Designer, and multiple different positions under the umbrella of Project Management. My favorite part of game developer is without a doubt creating stories for people to enjoy. That can take shape through designing mechanics that foster emergent gameplay, using environmental storytelling throughout my levels to tell quiet but strong narratives, or directly immersing the player through fun gameplay moments. Designing fun and memorable experiences drives my game development process.

In my free time, I enjoy creating custom maps to hone my Level Design skills with various different game engines such as Unity, Unreal Engine 5, and Source 2. I’m also working on creating a Tactical First-Person Shooter Game with Multiplayer Functionality in UE5. Writing stories and brainstorming game ideas are also activities I enjoy.
