About Me

Born in Lithuania, based in the UK. Studying Game Design & Production at Abertay University.
I've been building things for 5+ years now, from systems / gameplay programming to UI/UX or composing original soundtracks.
I care a lot about how games feel, both mechanically and sonically.
Outside of projects I play chess, make music, and lose hours to random indie games.
