About Me

I’m Koen van der Meer, a student game designer currently studying at Breda University of Applied Sciences, developing my skills in Unreal Engine 5. Whether it’s working in a team or a solo project, I strive to create unique experiences through games.

In a team, I’m great at being an all-rounder, developing my skills as a Level Designer, Technical Designer and Team Lead. Most of all, I love being able to communicate between all team members to make sure a project can come together.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy playing tabletop RPGs; bringing original worlds to life and storytelling collaboratively with friends. Of course, I also enjoy playing games of any genre, particularly Adventure games and RPG’s, like my favorite game, Baldur’s Gate 3.
