About Me

Hi! I’m Chris Dichmann, welcome to my portfolio site!

​I’m experienced in Game Design, Narrative Design, and Level Design — I also have a background in Project Management and Technical Writing. I’m always looking to expand my skillsets, and I’m passionate about working with others to create exciting experiences through the medium of video games.​

At heart, I’m a storyteller: I’m fascinated by the unique ways video games are able to tell engaging interactive stories. I want to create games that players can form personal connections with, building their own stories and memories.

Teamwork

I’ve been fortunate in working with many developers from a wide range of disciplines, often coordinating production as a Project Manager. Everyone brings a unique perspective to a project, and I’m always excited to see what I can learn from collaborating with someone new!

Off the Clock

I’m a major horror fan — I’m particularly fond of short-story horror and indie horror cinema. In the Summer months, you can find me in the pool chasing sprint times: come Winter, I like to hit the slopes on my skis. And of course, I love to play games!
