Neil Iakini

I am a level designer with three years of experience.
Having worked on multiple published projects, including one nominated for the Dutch "best student game" award.
With a strong grasp of design principles and a solid technical foundation in Unreal Engine 5’s visual scripting, I am eager to grow, and be able to bring my skills and passion to new projects.
Currently studying at Breda University of Applied Sciences.

Looking for an internship.
