About Me

Hi, I’m Silja!

I'm a 24-year-old game designer from Germany who studied Game Design and Production in the Netherlands.

I always loved playing games, alone or with friends. Many Nintendo games occupy a spot close to my heart, but I also enjoy PC and mobile games. I've even played some games competitively in the past and was engaged in their respective e-sports communities.

Aside from games, I also love reading, writing, movies, and climbing.
