ABOUT GLADEL (G.R)

Hi, I'm Gladeline (Gladel) Rufo (they/them). I'm a game designer from Los Angeles, currently pursuing a BA in Interactive Entertainment at the University of Southern California (USC Games).

I specialize in 3D action and multiplayer game development using Unreal Engine 5, Unity, and UGC applications such as UEFN and Roblox Studio. I bring strong mechanics experience to teams, creating reactive features that enable players to play the way they want to. While working on interdisciplinary teams of over 50 people, I've been able to communicate and implement complex systems, interlocking mechanics, and character-driven gameplay effectively.

I can be contacted anytime at [email protected].
