Aloha Kākou

 Aloha mai kākou, I'm Michele. I am a Junior Level Designer at Activision. I'm passionate about bringing fantasy worlds to life through game development. 

A few inspirational games of mine are World of Warcraft, Rune Factory Frontier, and Baldur's Gate 3. What I enjoy most about these games is the level of detail implemented to make the environments feel lively, intentional, and immersive. I strive to achieve the same level of quality in my games.
