Career
These are the released projects I've worked on during my time at Force Field XR/ Vertigo and from the year I've been outsourced to Ubisoft. I'm sadly unable to show some unreleased work from my time at Vertigo games.
Game Jams
Over the past few years I've joined multiple game jams. I see these jams as an opportunity to learn something new, do something creative, working with my awesome friends and to get more experience in making games from start to finish

ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Merel, and I'm a game designer.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Creative Media and Game Technologies from the University of Applied Sciences Breda, with honors.
I spent 4 years at Forcefield XR, later renamed Vertigo Studios Amsterdam.
I also made a brief detour to Codam coding college to study software engineering. Now, I can program in C and look forward to where it takes me.
I believe that games are an excellent medium for learning and personal development through play.
In addition to game design, I enjoy crocheting, traveling, reading, volunteering at a local community garden/ food forest and spending time with our 2 cats, Momo and Noodles!
