Hey there, I am Ellen!
As a current game design student in Berlin, I am driven by a passion to inspire people through interactive and touching experiences.
I believe that this is best achieved through storytelling and light, two mediums that I aspire to bridge.
My objective is to become a professional in both game design and lighting design, striving to develop innovative ways to combine my fields of expertise and creating compelling work in each.

Topic wise, I have found particular enthusiasm in the areas of level and UI design as well as games writing - A specialization that I am currently refining in my masters studies, as I have a deep love of bringing worlds and characters to life.
Apart from that, I am constantly deepening my knowledge about lighting design and light engineering through digital and live shows.
