About Projects

Oriol Viu i Duran

Technical Game Designer
& Narrative Designer

Hi there!

My name is Oriol and I’m an aspiring Game Designer, currently pursuing a Master’s in Sweden. I have experience both working solo under the name North Oriole, and from a diverse bunch of group projects made during my studies and game jams - though I'm usually drawn to experimental and minimalistic approaches.

I have a special love for games; some of my fondest memories are watching my older sister play The Sims, the eternal summers in front of my Wii, or bringing my PSP with me everywhere. Now, making games myself allows me to combine my technical background with a desire for meaningful interactive storytelling.

I’m creative, analytical, detail-oriented, and easily adaptable - versatile, self-sufficient, and a caring team player. An avid runner, filmgoer, record collector, trivia nerd, and Simpsons enthusiast, too!
