Jenny Loikkanen

Level Designer

Hi! I’m Jenny. I’m a level designer from Finland. I’m currently a third-year student of Game Design and Production at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands and a student mentor for lower-year students, helping them with their projects and school work.

I have been making games since 2019 and I have a passion for level design and storytelling. Before my game development studies, I worked as a fiction writer, editor, and publisher for several years and established my own publishing company, so I have a strong narrative and entrepreneurial background.
