ABOUT ME
Hey there!
My name is Kevin Heese and I am an experienced Game Designer from Germany!
I always had a passion for game design, and during my studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, I decided to turn that passion into profession. After graduating with a BSc in Computer Science, my journey started at Grimlore Games, where I currently work as a Game Designer.
While I can get enthusiastic about many things, I love a practical, iterative and player-oriented approach to game design.
If you want to get in touch or talk about my work, check out the social links below or write me an eMail!
Alternatively, scroll down for an overview of the projects I have worked on - thanks for dropping by!
