04 /THE DESIGNER BEHIND THE GAMES

Hi, I'm Jinxuan.

Curious about mechanics. Thoughtful about players.

My work spans digital games, tabletop systems and unconventional controllers. I enjoy exploring how a simple action can become an entire game, and using playtests to make the experience clearer and more satisfying.

I'm looking for an internship in gameplay or level design, and I'm comfortable collaborating and presenting ideas in English and Mandarin.
