About Me
Hi there! My name is Tallan (they/them/theirs). I grew up in Alaska and moved to Texas to attend the Guildhall at SMU. My educational background is in Biology and Psychology. I attended medical school but quickly realized my passion was elsewhere. I started creating small games as a pastime before realizing my hobby could be a real profession.
​
After graduating from the Guildhall, I began working at Arkane Studios, Austin as a level designer before moving on to Archetype-Entertainment. My design interests include narrative driven design, immersive simulation, and using new techniques to encourage player exploration.
​
When I'm not at my computer, I enjoy painting minis, illustrating, and cosplay. There's nothing I love more than planning out a project and seeing it through to completion. I also enjoy hiking and traveling.
