Hey, I'm Anahid Attaran!
An Iranian, experienced game developer, currently based in Copenhagen.
I have an MA in Visual Games and Media Design from KADK and a BA in Architectural Design.
In the last 3 years I have worked as Game designer in Bird Island Studio, have been an Organizer in Nordic Game Jam since 2022, and have been a part of organizing several Woman in Games DK events.
Both my life experiences and educational background has given me a unique insight into game development.
I am a designer with a wide range of skills. I'm eager to improve them, learn new ones and excited about trying new experiences.
I'm looking for a job in Game/Level design and I believe I can be a good match for you!

Journey
I have come a long way to be where I am right now but long story short, if you told me about game development even in mid-2017 I would have been forever grateful to you for your life-changing suggestion.
Since I started my adventure in game development I have tried totally different roles. Those skills + my architectural design studies have taught me different approaches for problem-solving which I use as my magical combination for my design process. Other than that, growing up in Iran has given me a lot. From having thousands of authentic stories that I can use as reference, to life skills that I gained after living under its circumstances and is applicable to work situations.
Why Games
Why Games
My passion for game development drives from creating unique meaningful experiences for the players and/or making charming aesthetics. I like to make a good influence in people’s lives (though, the definition of good influence can be Controversial), I like to tell stories with my designs, get the players thinking about something new, see things from other perspectives or make someone, somewhere, feel better somehow.
Hobbies
In my spare time I like to:
-
Watch, study, create Art
-
Learn about new stories (in books, movies, games, podcasts, Twitter, artworks, streets,...)
-
Gain new experiences (Travel, learn a new skill, try sth. new,...)
-
Socialize
Oh and one day I really want to work on installations! (especially interactive or involving lights-I'm obsessed with them)
