Meggy Pepelanova

Game Designer - Narrative Designer

Hello!

I'm an experienced freelance game designer based in Amsterdam. I design for digital games as well as real life games, and am especially versed in mixed reality or hybrid games. One of my strongest skills is creating mechanics that convey a message or a feeling, and this translates both when designing serious games and when designing games with a meaningful narrative. I am passionate about persuasive design and the power of play to create transformative experiences.

In my design practice, I build on a background of management, research, and business strategy to create precise work that is tailored to a big picture vision, without reinventing the wheel in the process. My creative influences are broad and almost entirely from outside video game culture, allowing me to bring fresh ideas and perspectives to classic formats and genres. I quickly become fluent and immersed in the context and subject matter of a project, and because of this I highly value projects that align with my values and those that aim to create positive world impact.
