Summary

Hello,


My name is Donavyn Olson. I have Been in the games world for around 4 years. I am a quick learner who loves to jump into anything I can! A new problem calls for unique and fast solutions. I thrive in high speed environments that require quick iteration and problem solving. I started in the games sphere doing moderation and creative community engagement, then moving on to low-level game design on events and games for Rec Room. I am still in college, currently pursuing my associates degree, which I am very close to getting!


I worked on many events and games for Rec Room. I designed and created many experiences for players to enjoy. I am super passionate about making great experiences for players while keeping in mind scope, monetization, and game flow! I used a version of Unity made for Rec Room for most projects, so I have Unity experience. I also have tons of experience in Unreal-Blueprint type coding, and having a great intuition on coding as a whole! I Know a bit of C++ as well, but have plenty to learn!
