A bit about me:

Hello, I’m Lamha Bijili — but you can just call me Lamha.

I’m a game designer based in Australia, with a background in toy and game design, visual storytelling, and player psychology. I care deeply about joy, originality, accessibility, and systems that feel just right. I love solving problems through playful thinking and crafting experiences that feel both intuitive and surprising.

​

I’ve designed games for studios like Zynga and Murka, working on titles including GOT Slots, Wonka Slots, Black Diamond Casino, and Scatter Poker. My work has spanned across casual, slots, hybrid-casual, and multiplayer formats—always with a focus on balancing strong mechanics with player delight.

​

I hold a Master’s in Game Design from the National Institute of Design, and my work is shaped by years of experience across illustration, graphic design, cognitive psychology, and visual art. I often bridge creative and analytical teams—mapping ideas into flowcharts and systems while also brainstorming with sketches, placeholder art, or AI-generated visuals.

​

Whether it's designing features to boost ARPDAU, rewriting onboarding flows to reduce friction, or prototyping unique mechanics, I approach every challenge with curiosity and intention. I also enjoy digging into player data, user testing feedback, and A/B results to shape more meaningful decisions.

When I’m not deep in a spreadsheet or game loop, you’ll find me lifting weights, painting, cooking without a recipe, or planning my next mini road trip. I’m passionate about design mentorship, and I hope to grow into a thoughtful, intuitive design leader in the years to come.

​

For now, I’m just loving the ride—designing joyful, impactful, and sometimes slightly weird games that make people feel something.
