I utilise game design theories to create engaging educational and storytelling experiences
I have two goals:
1. Make learning a fun, self-driven experience for learners.
2. Create immersive stories that the audience talk about.
​
After pursuing a diploma in creative writing for media and a degree in game design while briefly engaging myself in education-related experiences, I became a late bloomer in the field of education.
However, because of that, I have acquired skillsets that place me in a unique position of being an "edutainer", in which I use concepts associated with entertainment to boost my ability to teach or design educational content.
