Hello, I'm Shivani

I love to make games and interactive experiences for players around the world!

I began my journey as a game designer, captivated by the power of interactive storytelling and creating engaging experiences. Over time, I realized my true passion extended beyond design; I wanted to ensure that games could reach players around the world in ways that felt natural and authentic. This led me to pivot toward game production with a specialization in localization, combining my creative design background with project management and language expertise.

I am a passionate game designer that strives to tell a story and create an engaging experience through a playcentric approach. I graduated from the University of Southern California's Interactive Media and Game Design program in 2023, the #1 ranked Game Design school in the world, and have learned so much via practical cross-functional collaboration in my journey. I'm currently studying Translation & Localization Management at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies!

In my free time, I love visual art, playing escape rooms and word/logic games, and learning languages. I speak 5 languages: English, French, Tamil, Korean, and Japanese!

Favorite Media: OneShot (game), Invisible Monsters (book), Clue (movie), Psych and Hunter x Hunter (TV), NCT's whole discography (music)
