Background &
Experience.
Hi! I'm Martin, a fourth (and final)-year Creative Media & Game Technologies student at Saxion University.
My primary focus is about game design and audio designer, aside from this I'm also very passionate about composing music in my free time! I love creating immersive soundscapes and engaging gameplay experiences, while keeping smooth and intuitive user interfaces that enhances the overall player experience. I love working in team environments, enjoy finding creative solutions, and am comfortable working independently as well.
Outside of university, I enjoy taking walks, reading, gaming, and playing badminton.
