About Me
Hi there! I'm Panda 🐼
I'm a game designer based in Bangkok, Thailand, finishing up my degree in game design & production.
I specialize in mechanics and level design — researching what players need, then prototyping and implementing solutions to make the experience better. With 20+ projects across small and large teams, I've learned to wear many hats and actually enjoy it.
I see challenges as puzzles to solve, and I've become the go-to person for untangling design problems and keeping production smooth. If you're looking for a junior game designer with solid fundamentals and a hands-on mindset, I'd love to connect!
My Favorite Games
Nier: Automata | Life is Strange | Bayonetta | Devil May Cry | Dave the Diver | Overcooked! | Genshin Impact | Overwatch
Apart from video games...
I'm also into traveling, food, cats, museums, and movies (My Letterboxd) I constantly raid film references for worldbuilding and atmosphere in my design work.

DOCUMENTATION
Documentation is one of my favorite parts of game design. I love ensuring the design is clearly communicated to meet the team's needs and easy to navigate.
Below are samples of game development documentation I've created.
Game Design Document
Collaborated with another game designer.
I developed the overall structure, gameplay, and mechanics sections.

Design Brief
Sometimes a focused design brief is more effective than full documentation or better suited to the situation.
I love using flowcharts, diagrams, and visual references to make the design digestible.Below are design brief samples from a few of my game project collaborations.
