My name is Marcus Ekman. I’ve always loved film, storytelling, and cinematography, but only recently did I discover how to apply these skills to interactive media.

My interest in games began early, with my first experience playing on the N64, specifically Mario 64, which really stuck with me and sparked my curiosity about how games are built. Since then, creating games has felt like a natural path to follow.

I am in my second year at The Game Assembly, specializing in level design and creating environments that are both intuitive and engaging to play. I thrive on testing, iterating, and refining ideas to elevate the player experience. When I am not shaping worlds, I am actively exploring them in my favourite games.

Games I love: Elden Ring, Alan Wake, Arena Breakout, just to name a few.
