While thinking of something to write on this page, I realized that Game Design and the art that goes with it have always been a part of my life. At a young age I was already making up games to play on the school playground. At the same time I also made a newspaper entirely consisting of comics and drawings together with a classmate. At a later age I drew characters for simple game-concepts that were in my head. I also made my own campaigns and missions for various games that had editors. Like Warcraft 3 or Timesplitters 2.
I decided to go all the way with Game Design and it’s art, and so I ended up at the Utrecht School of Arts, studying Game Design. I really feel comfortable with this study and am still fascinated with design and the art, even though over the years my interest and passion have shifted more and more to the art-side of it.
