Hello!!

I'm Jonathan Kihlström, a 21-year-old Game Design student in the final stretch of my studies at Future Games in Stockholm, Sweden.

I've been passionate about creating stories and art for as long as I can remember. I started by making films with my friends, which eventually led me to attend high school with film as my primary focus. During lockdown, like many others, I played a lot of games which made me interested in trying to make them myself which eventually led to me applying to futuregames.

During my time at Future Games, I discovered a love for Level Design. The ability to tell stories through the environment while working extensively in the engine inspired me to strive for mastery in this field. It also felt like a natural progression from my background in film, where I developed an understanding of story beats and pacing.

I got the amazing opportunity to work at Hazelight as a collision designer for 4 months. It was an extremely valuable and fun experience.

Outside of game design, I enjoy photography, climbing, running, and supporting my friends on their film projects whenever they invite me to join.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
