ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m
Jannie Wang.

I’m a game designer working across systems, interactive narrative and UI. I like starting with a specific question and turning it into something people can play.

Communication shapes how I think about stories and how people understand information. Game design lets me turn those questions into interactive systems.
