welcome! play some games! hang out!

My name is Vian Nguyen. I'm recent graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art from Interactive Arts (+concentration in Game Design).

I make a lot of different kinds of games. I predominantly focus my attention to encapsulating the nuance of human emotion & empathy with interaction and play. Some of my games also explore noticing the world around us and seeing without judgement.
