About Me - CV

Name:
Justin Lim.

Personal Profile:
As a games designer, I am very passionate about developing new ideas and creating new IP to push the boundaries of next-gen consoles. From my studies, I have a good knowledge of game playability and always try to ensure my ideas are user friendly whilst confining to any restrictions. Furthermore, I thoroughly enjoy acting and script writing, and am interested in developing the storytelling capabilities of computer games.

I am hardworking, good at multitasking and enthusiastic about the work I do; I’m not afraid to work long hours in order to complete work to the full and best of my abilities. I can manage projects alone as well as working well in a team environment, motivating others and developing ideas towards the end goal. I have professional experience working as a junior designer on an AAA game and working as team leader in university group projects for games design and practical games implementation. I have also worked in a number of online teams, as lead or designer, creating modded content for games and released a number of levels; of which can be found on my website.
