ABOUT ME

I'M

Bretton Hamilton.

Game Designer

Hello! I’ve been making games and telling stories since my childhood, beginning with card games, handmade board games, and telling stories in level editors. I’ve since pursued my passion for creating immersive, engaging experiences and solving complex problems through 6+ years of industry experience designing games with multinational teams around the globe.

As I deal in designing experiences through gameplay, I make a conscious attempt to play and experience a wide spectrum of different games. This search for creative solutions is not limited to games however, as I take time out of my day to look for inspiration in film, books, art, or simply hiking through the woods. I believe creativity is built through a wide exploration of life’s experiences, and often that is best found beyond the confines of my house.
