GlassCourt OS

Interactive Development

 1.5 years
Amsterdam

GlassCourt is a large-scale interactive sports platform that turns the entire court into a responsive digital playing surface, combining physical movement, player tracking, live visuals, and gameplay.

My role is to design and develop training drills, competitive games, and interactive experiences specifically for that environment, focusing on game flow, scoring, feedback, pacing, and player clarity.

Because players can move freely through a large physical space, a major part of the design challenge is guiding them without traditional screen-based controls. Visuals, court layout, timing, feedback, and game rules all need to clearly communicate where players should go, what they should do, and what is happening around them while keeping the experience fast and natural.

Kirins Chosen

Game Design

1 year
London


Kirin’s Chosen is a turn-based card combat game built around tactical planning, readable combat, and meaningful trade-offs.
As Lead Game Designer, I designed the core combat rules, full card set, progression, and the game’s three-slot execution system. Players queue up to three cards each turn, with card order and position shaping how the turn resolves and forcing choices between aggression, defence, and setup.

I balanced the game through iterative playtesting, refining card interactions, pacing, difficulty, and clarity while keeping the system approachable.

I also led a small multidisciplinary team across art, UI, audio, and writing, defining design constraints and maintaining a consistent vision throughout a year long development cycle.
