About
She/Her
Hi! I am Dayana Fatinah (AKA Dayana Khairil Anwar), currently pursuing a Bachelor of Games Design at Griffith University. Previously, I completed my Diploma in Media and Communications at Singapore Polytechnic, where I honed my ability to craft compelling narratives and engaging content.
​
My love for gaming started when I was young, playing games with my older brother. Those early experiences sparked my fascination with how games tell stories, create worlds, and bring people together. As I pursued media and communications, I realized I wanted to go beyond just consuming games—I wanted to create them. This led me to explore game development in my degree studies, combining both my passion for storytelling and design to craft interactive experiences that engage and immerse players.
​
As a passionate and dedicated game designer, I thrive in leading teams and driving projects from concept to completion. I have experience in collaborating with artists, programmers, and writers to develop cohesive and immersive gameplay experiences. My expertise lies in shaping game narratives, refining mechanics, and ensuring that every design choice enhances player engagement. I enjoy taking charge of brainstorming sessions, prototyping gameplay systems, and iterating on mechanics to create meaningful and interactive experiences.
​
My experience working at Kingsmen and Sennheiser set the foundation for my understanding of real-world work environments, teamwork, and cross-functional collaboration. These roles exposed me to how different offices operate, how teams coordinate to meet project goals, and the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and problem-solving in a professional setting. This experience translates directly into game development, where effective teamwork and project management are crucial in delivering polished and engaging games.
​
Beyond game design, I am an independent and adaptable problem solver who excels in learning new tools and workflows quickly. With a versatile skill set spanning game design, marketing, writing, and content creation, I thrive in diverse tasks and projects. I have a strong command of Unity and Unreal Engine for game development, along with proficiency in Autodesk 3ds Max for 3D modelling. Additionally, I leverage my expertise in Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator and XD to support visual storytelling. My background in marketing and consumer insights also enables me to design experiences that resonate with target audiences.
​
Whether refining mechanics or crafting narratives, I am committed to bringing engaging worlds to life through game design.
