📝 WRITING

As a writer, I create anything from dialogue to world building, character backgrounds, item descriptions, and story beats. However, I'm flexible and I do many types of work including UX writing and copywriting.

🧬 DESIGN

I can directly assist you in narrative design, quest design, and content design, as well as more general game design processes, ensuring a close connection between narrative, gameplay, and mechanics.

🔍 RESEARCH

Whether it's compiling documentation or finding out obscure facts, I enjoy learning and maintaining knowledge. My eclectic academic background allows me to delve into complex topics and formulate methodical research.

💬 COMMUNICATIONS

Be it social media, community management or communications, I can make sure things run smoothly between your studio and other people! I have good communication skills and can take initiative, but I also collaborate well with others.

🎮 USER EXPERIENCE

I studied Games User Experience and worked closely with developers in the testing and evaluation of their game before release. Therefore, I can provide you with a better understanding of how your products are received and experienced by their users.

🗺️ LOCALIZATION

I'm fluent in two languages and have a basic grasp on several other. This means I'm able to communicate with almost 20% of the world population! I can contribute not only to the translation of your game but also to its cultural localization.

Diana Cristina Răzman| She/Her

I was born in Romania, in the region of Transylvania (🧛‍♀️🚫) but, for the past years, I've been living in Sweden: working, meeting people, and growing.

My stories tend to be character-driven and I like to explore complex emotions. I write in a concise but flavorful style that is often emergent and focuses on progression. 

I'm interested in history, plants, and media. I also like to spend my time researching obscure things and getting too emotionally invested in fictional characters.
