Senior Game Designer | Unity Developer | AI Video Creator
I’m a Senior Game Designer, Unity Developer, and AI Video Creator with 20+ years of professional creative experience. I have completed 150+ projects on Upwork with over $300,000 earned, working across game systems, gameplay design, Unity prototyping, video production, and visual storytelling. Earlier in my career, I contributed to The Witcher 1 and worked as a Game Designer, Senior Game Designer, Head of Game Design, author, and editor-in-chief. GAME DESIGN & UNITY My core expertise is turning game concepts into structured, playable systems. I work across gameplay loops, progression, economy, balancing, retention, UX, game documentation, system architecture, and prototyping. I currently work hands-on in Unity 6 on multiple original projects, including tactical gameplay, decision-driven systems, restoration/simulation mechanics, inventory, progression, UI flows, interactions, events, and gameplay state management. I can support a project from early concept and GDD through system specification, playable prototype, iteration, balancing, and production planning. AI VIDEO & VIDEO EDITING I also create AI-assisted commercial, cinematic, social, gaming, and branded video content. My workflow combines creative direction, AI-generated visuals, editing, pacing, sound design, captions, color work, and final delivery. My video portfolio includes product commercials, gaming content, cinematic pieces, short-form social videos, documentary/interview editing with real footage, and branded advertising concepts. Tools in my workflow include Midjourney, Kling, Runway, Seedance, Luma, Higgsfield, ElevenLabs, Suno/Udio, and professional editing tools. I can help with: • Game design and systems design • GDDs, feature specifications and production documentation • Gameplay loops, progression, economy and balancing • Unity prototypes and gameplay implementation • UX/UI flows and player journey analysis • AI video production and creative direction • Commercials, trailers and branded content • Short-form social and gaming video • Documentary/interview editing and real-footage post-production If your project needs structured game design, a playable Unity prototype, or polished visual content, I can take it from concept to a clearly defined deliverable.
