About Me

6

Hi!
I am Sergej, a Level and Game Designer based in Germany currently working remotely for Point Blank Games. My passion for video games started early in life and never let up, leading me to pursue a career in game development. Level Design was the discipline that immediately clicked for me, as it allows me to express my broad and generalist skillset to great extent, while being a discipline with endless potential to specialize and keep learning.

I play a lot of games to try to keep up with the industry as well as just out of pure passion for gaming and for inspiration – however I believe the most potent sources of inspiration come out away from games, just being aware of processes in the world and soaking up your environment, which I try to be mindful of in my day to day life.
