Nick Rosendin
My dedication to learning & growth has led to the creation of several projects, which showcase my ability to produce engaging games made for various platforms. From AI-generated art in my 3D card game, AI Cards, to the reimagined classic game of Pachinko for mobile. I believe my portfolio is a testament to my passion and commitment to game design & team leadership.

My business marketing education set the foundation for my production skills including time management, budgeting, and stakeholder communication. I’ve since found these skills paramount for multiple roles including my role as a marketing analyst & project manager. When I knew I wanted to work in gaming, I began educating myself on game engines, game roles, and started creating my own game projects.
