Taylor Cadwallader
Hello and Welcome!
I'm Taylor, a Technical Game Designer finishing up my BA at DigiPen Institute of Technology.
I design mechanics and build the systems behind them; focusing on clarity, responsiveness, and scalability.
​
I love collaborating with teammates, shaping ideas through feedback and turning prototypes into polished, satisfying gameplay. I iterate relentlessly on feel and clarity, adapting and solving whatever problems stand between concept and completion.
Everything is still a WIP :(
