More About Me!

hey, that’s me!

hey, that’s me!

Nice to meet ya! I’m Amari.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in **Game Design at the University of Southern California, class of ‘25.**

Currently, I am a Gameplay and Level Designer on an in-development USC MFA Thesis, titled The Guardian.

I also served as the teaching assistant for the Game Prototyping course at USC under professor Andrew Nealen.

During my time at USC, I volunteered for USC’s Trojan Esports and served as the current President for the USC Super Smash Bros. Club. In my free time, I like to freeskate, compete in fighting game tournaments, and read random animal facts (ask me about nudibranchs)!

While I primarily work as a designer, I tend to immerse myself into game design as a jack of all trades, in order to gain a full perspective of every aspect of development which I use to smooth the bumps and hills in the teams I work in. As a designer, I find joy in the deceptively simple. Many of my projects are based around the philosophy that exploring mechanical and emotional depth using straightforward systems is the key to making something anyone can enjoy.
