My name is Sabine and I'm a Game Designer.
I'm currently working as a Junior Game Designer at Wondershop.
My favourite games are especially applied games and those that bring digital and analog concepts together. Add to that a mission, whether it's a social goal or a focus on accessibility, and I'm all over it.
I came to games from the idea of creating experiences in public or semi-public venues.
During my bachelor's degree, I saw my fellow students creating games. I myself am not a typical "gamer". I do play games, of course, but others might still not think of me as a gamer. Therefore, I have never thought of developing games.
However, for me, games are one of the best ways to build experiences for users.
They can provide a safe space to be alone and experiment, to show off your skills in front of others, or to work together to achieve a common goal – and so much more!
I'm good with people, I can spark ideas, I really like doodling wireframes, writing down processes, breaking down features into flow charts and filling tables with parameters.
Additionally I have a keen interest in design and technology. I love typography and good usability.
After realising that this could be my path, I just gave it a try. I had internships, I went to events, attended game jams, I talked with other game designers. And then I figured, I really want to do this.
So here I am, a Game Designer, designing fun experiences for young players and enjoying it.
