Technical Gameplay and Systems Designer
About Me
Hello! My name is Sage Nakoa Kalamanoa Severson. I was born in Kailua, Hawaii— small— water-locked— but breathtaking. Growing up in a cultural hot pot, environments, and life perspectives fostered a special approach to my sense of community and professional identity.
As a game developer, I have blended expertise in systems design and gameplay engineering with a specific focus on the tactile area of games— controls, mechanics, and UX.
Hobbies, Passions, and Adventures
My childhood consisted of a LOT of water activities, martial arts, and of course, video games. Nowadays aside from game development, I spend my spare time cooking, playing with my hedgehogs, and traveling as a competitive Super Smash Bros. player— I'm currently ranked #1 in Hawaii and #4 in Utah!
