Luisa „Sam“ Kohlbecher
Through my experience as a product and costume designer for one of the biggest
larping companies I was able to gain professional knowledge in fantasy garment and
armor design. My studies have helped me further improve my skills in game design,
coding, narrative design and worldbuilding. Combining these skillsets has allowed me
to create unique characters in a variety of different games and settings.
