Game Designer

About Me

Katia Kavanagh, Mexico. Game dev student.

I seek to revolutionize and innovate fields of the video game industry, proposing a new approach that prioritizes the use of technologies to social and emotional problems experienced by contemporary society, offering creativity, understanding and empathy to different users.

Inspired also by other game designers, my ideal is to design games that help people understand themselves and others better by trying to find a middle ground between art and technology.
