My Bio

 Who exactly is me><

 My name is Wenxi Zhu, and I am a creative video game designer studying Digital Media Studies and Computer Science at the University of Rochester. My creative academic path has  been shaped by a lifelong love of video games and a passion for the emergence of storytelling,  design, and technology. For me, video games are not just entertainment; they are a powerful tool  for connecting and communicating different ideas. By building unique gaming projects that explore everything from interactive storylines, to 2D/3D game mechanics, I have gained a deep understanding for how design shapes user experience and how visual storytelling impacts people.

I code in Swift, Java, C, C++, Flutter, Unity, and Unreal Engine. My ability to program in multiple languages and platforms allows me to transform my unique creative vision into interactive gameplay. These skills also help me prototype and solve technical challenges, such as optimizing performance across devices and engines. Whether I’m building 2D mobile games in Unity, developing iOS apps in Swift, or scripting gameplay logic in C++ for Unreal Engine, I approach every project with both artistic intuition and technical precision. My technical skills expand my creative range, providing me the flexibility to explore storytelling concepts with functional and innovative design visions.

I have collaborated on and led projects that use storytelling techniques with gameplay design, revising with ways to make digital spaces interesting and inspirational. As a teaching assistant, I’ve supported many students in their own creative processes. This experience taught me how to communicate complex ideas clearly and how to provide guidance that helps others succeed. Beyond my university campus, I have also contributed to a community-centered institution that uses digital platforms to combat prejudices towards autistic people, showing me how media design can serve positive social changes. 

 

I have been a part of the gaming community since I was 13, and I am excited to create games and digital experiences that are meaningful to every perspective. Looking ahead, I want to keep exploring the potential of game design and interactive media to connect people by telling new stories and expanding what digital spaces can do!
