Hi, I am
Rebecca.
Nice to meet you!
I am a generalist game designer with years of experience in the development of Mixed Reality applications.
Currently, I am working as a Mixed Reality Experience Designer at the NMY Mixed Reality Innovation Studio.
Below you can find samples of my work.
Game Design
During my studies I have gathered diverse experience in game development with a focus on VR and UX.
Prototyping
Testing out new mechanics on paper and in engine is essential for me to make sure they will work as intended.
Curiosity
Every day is a school day. I don’t know everything and that’s okay! Life would be very boring otherwise.
Communication
Whether it is about teamwork, project management or presenting concepts – communication is always key.
Graphic Design
I love to visualise ideas, concepts and user interfaces with pen and paper, but also with Illustrator and Photoshop.

Exploring the Concept of Affordance in VR
My Bachelor Thesis asked the question whether the concept of affordance can be of use in Virtual Reality applications. Affordance, a term coined by psychologist James Gibson, describes an object’s interaction possibilities in relation to an actor. In my thesis, I used an integrative literature review to analyse and compare affordance frameworks applied to digital media, games, and Virtual Reality with the goal to extract an affordance model for VR applications.
