Dariia Koban

Game Designer

I’m Dariia, a Game Designer with 3+ years of experience crafting mechanics, narratives, and systems that shape immersive player experiences. Always full of energy, I’m ready to create, experiment, and push ideas further

My philosophy lies in the belief that human creativity and individuality are our greatest strengths. Games, as an interactive art form, create a brilliant space where ideas, emotions, and experiences come to life. Understanding players, telling stories through mechanics, and crafting naturally immersive experiences is what drives me
