Who am I? I’m Hazel Norton (she/her), a student at Champlain College. I’m double-majoring in Game Design and Applied Mathematics.
What do I do for games? I’m primarily a systems & interaction designer with a focus on testing and refinement. I enjoy fine-tuning game balance and feel with an eye toward the underlying numbers. In my student projects, I’ve also handled level design, narrative design and writing, and a good deal of programming and implementation.
What do I do outside of games? Creative writing, conlanging, and dance. Also math. I find that taking time for math helps keep me grounded relative to my creative work.
What’s this website for? Besides my portfolios, I also have a blog where I analyze the games I play. I have an ongoing writing challenge where for every game I play, I try to write a review in 100 words or less.
