Julian is a relentless, passionate, and competitive gamer—someone who’s always chasing mastery, whether that’s in video games, tabletop strategy, or sports. That competitive mindset shapes how he designs: he cares about fair rules, meaningful decisions, clear feedback, and the satisfaction of improving through skill.

A lifelong athlete, Julian grew up skating and skiing and has played across a wide range of team and individual sports. He brings that same discipline, teamwork, and performance-under-pressure into his work as a game designer.

His other interests include:

• Health and fitness

• Culinary arts

• DIY projects

• Spiritual practices

• Travel

As a late bloomer, Julian took time to find his professional lane—exploring several paths before earning a Game Design certificate in 2014. Since then, he has worked as a lead designer, managing development teams and helping guide projects from concept to execution.

His strongest skills include:

• Critical thinking

• Problem solving

• Brainstorming & “dreamstorming”

• Leadership

• Communication

Julian’s strengths extend beyond games because his interests are broad and his thinking is both strategic and detail-driven. He’s comfortable defining a high-level vision and also digging into the micro—tuning systems, refining player experience, and polishing the small touches that make a game feel cohesive. He believes strong design comes from balanced intensity and humility: push hard, learn fast, and keep improving.
