About Me

Hello!
I’m Utku Mert Degirmenci, a Senior Game Designer passionate about crafting engaging and meaningful player experiences. While I specialize in systems, gameplay, and open world design, I approach every project as a generalist — always ready to learn, adapt, and help the team push ideas further.

Over the years, I’ve mentored designers, led features, and worked across disciplines, believing that great design comes from both creative vision and clear collaboration. I care not just about making great games, but about building strong teams and smooth processes along the way.

Outside of work, you’ll find me playing guitar, bass, or saxophone, experimenting in the kitchen, or deep in a game of Magic: The Gathering, board games, or video games. And I hope to keep designing, playing, and growing for many years to come.
