Hey, I’m Lya!

(Pronounced lee-ya)

My pronouns are she/her.

I’m a game designer interested in how spaces support storytelling. I take a lot of inspiration from books, films, and shows while my more personal work is rooted in Filipino culture.

I deeply care about a game’s quality and how the game affects the player. In every project, the goal is to create spaces that feel intuitive and evoke emotions. I like to think about consistency, flow, and positioning to help me.

In what feels like a lifetime ago, I used to love losing myself in city streets and dive bar gigs. I’m always open to food trips (it’s as awesome as it sounds). I still dream of eating street food from every part of the world. One day.

Please take a look around! You can start with my some of my solo projects here.
