I'm Matthew!
I'm a game designer based in Stockholm, Sweden! I have over 4 years in the industry, and I'm currently a Senior Gameplay Designer at Rovio in Stockholm, working on various physics-based mobile projects. I previously worked in VR and at King, on Candy Crush Soda Saga. Outside of work, I have a great passion for games, writing, history, and sports!
I love all aspects of game design and I'd like to develop my knowledge in as many as I can over my career, though my expertise lies in level and core game design.
I also love mentoring and people management, and I have had the pleasure to mentor several designers throughout my career so far to help them develop within the studio and their craft.
I adore video game discussion! I love learning about the industry; the market, specific games, and even sometimes reading through fiscal results.
