I'm Effie, I am an aspiring game designer with a love of telling stories through games. I have a strong interest in creating immersive experiences, creating replay-ability and finding new and engaging ways for players to interact with stories.

I love to explore and play in all aspects of life, I like to understand how and why things are. This curiosity, admittedly, leads to me asking many questions! But it also means I understand how things work or fit together, I guess this is why I enjoy game design so much. Being able to dive under the hood and work out the logic for a new blueprint is something I find to be an equally frustrating and satisfying process, and I wouldn't want it any other way!

I'm, of course, an avid gamer myself, with some of my favourites being (in no particular order) Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Castle Crashers, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, and portal. I could go on, but I think that list is already too long!

My love of games doesn't stop at digital games, either! You can also find me attending as many LARP events as the bank account will allow.
