About

Hello! My name is Courtney and I am a full-time Technical Game Designer. I have designed for several genres, including strategy, puzzle, life sim, and educational games. I also have experience providing accessible gameplay experiences to people with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. To see my full list of projects, please view the 'Game Development' page.

I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Computer Science and minors in Game Design, Performing and Media Arts, and English. Since then, I've been a game programmer, artist, and designer, the last being my primary role. I have developed mobile, PC, and console games with Unity, Unreal, and Godot. I have also worked in fields such as cybersecurity, machine learning, and CS education, and I am comfortable with a variety of programming languages, including Python, Java, and C#. 

In addition to being a game designer, I am also an illustrator with a specialty in digital media and a fascination with fantasy stories. I specialize in character design, concept art, and portraits. Please email me at contact.cmanbeck@gmail.com for inquiry about freelance or contract work.
