My name is Yoanna Gramatikova and I recently finished my degree in Computer Games Development at the University of Westminster, London.
I've always been one to enjoy a good ol' fantasy story, but I would never guess that I would end up in one myself!
Well at least that's how I view Game Development.
One truly magical, immersive journey, which has brought me alot of knowledge, skills, wisdom and of course even more passion to continue ahead.​

Since the start of my studies, I have had the chance to:
Create my own 3D assets using Autodesk Maya
Create my own projects using Unity and Unreal Engine
Understand why every programmer at one point in their life has said Hello to the world
Be a part of a team of like-minded individuals to bring a game to life - it's amazing to see the different pieces of the puzzle come together to create something truly unique.
In the future, I hope to work as a game developer for a studio or start my own indie game company. I'm excited to continue learning and growing as a developer, and I can't wait to see where this career path takes me.
