Games have the ability to change the world!
Hello there,
My name is Tahnee Worland, I am a game developer and designer with a passion for creating immersive and enjoyable people focussed experiences. With a strong foundation in game design, programming and 3D asset creation, along with eight years of professional experience in the insurance industry, I bring a unique combination of creative problem-solving, professionalism, and a deep passion for game development.
I am a detail oriented and collaborative team player who thrives in creative, fast-paced environments, I am not afraid of large-scale teams or projects and tend to thrive in these environments. My technical skill set includes proficiency in industry standard systems such as Unreal Engine, Unity, and Maya, as well as programming languages including C#, C++, and HTML. I have a strong interest in intuitive level design, quality assurance, and enhancing player experiences.
Outside of technical skills, I describe myself as a self-proclaimed nerd who believes games have the power to tell meaningful stories and create positive and lasting impacts on players. I thoroughly enjoy the RPG genre and absolutely suck at platformers but am always willing to give them a go much to the entertainment of those around me.
