Michael Orsini

The short version

I'm a game designer and narrative designer who excels in creative vision and structured execution. My main goal is to design experiences that stay with the player, evoking their emotions, whether through a poignant moment, pure joy or terror.

What sets me apart is my versatility and my desire to understand every aspect of game development. I can switch between designing systems and narrative sequences, providing support with scripting, managing backlogs and leading daily stand-ups. I firmly believe that the best designers are those who can understand (at least to some extent) the work of their colleagues and, as a result, communicate effectively with them.

When I’m not designing, you’ll find me playing my favourite brain-teasing games, drawing, building Gunpla, or dissecting why Baldur's Gate 3 works so well.
