SHRUTI BHAT

NARRATIVE DESIGNER | GAME DESIGNER

I’m Shruti Bhat, an MA Games Design student at Brunel University London. I have 3 years of student experience as a Narrative Designer and Game Artist - often as a liaison between the two departments.
I have worked on Impasto where I was responsible for environmental narrative, puzzle design among other narrative tasks. The game was featured by PC Gamer with 87% positive reviews on Steam.
I am looking for entry-level roles in game or narrative design that have a focus on the narrative-driven adventure genre.
