ABOUT ME
Hey there!
My name is Alexander Kevin Heese and I am an experienced Game Designer from Germany!
I always had a passion for game design, and during my studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, I decided to turn that passion into profession. After graduating with a BSc in Computer Science, my journey started at Grimlore Games, where I currently work as a Game Designer.
While I can get enthusiastic about many things, I love a practical, iterative and player-oriented approach to game design.
