Nyela Allen

Hi! My name is Nyela and I'm a Second-Year Master's student studying at the University of Southern California pursuing a Master's degree in Game Design & Development with a concentration in Game Production. I started my game dev journey my freshman year of college when I joined my school's video game development club to learn all that I can about the industry. Since then, my love for game dev has grown exponentially.

 

What I love most about game dev is the ability to tell your story through an interactive experience to the point that the player feels fully immersed in the world you've made. Through multiple group projects and game jams, I've learned that I love leading and organizing, which led me to pursue production-related roles. I strive to empower my team members to produce their best work through empathetic leadership. My hobbies include sketching, watching anime/animations, and learning Japanese.
