About

Tokyo-based designer bringing my creative spark to games and software ⚡︎

Profile

Oskar O.K. Strom

I’m originally from Minnesota in the United States but I’ve been living in Japan since 2020. I fell in love with the country in 2018 while showcasing my game at an event in Kyoto called BitSummit.

I have a BFA in Digital Art and Game Design from Northeastern University in Boston and have over 10 years of professional experience. I specialize in UI and UX design as well as pixel art, game design, and 3D modeling.

I currently work at GREZZO, crafting stylish and satisfying game experiences through interface design, effects, and animation. I’ve also worked as an indie game developer and as a freelance designer on a variety of projects with clients and collaborators.

I’m a firm believer in using good design for accessibility to make the world a better place. I’m also a cancer survivor, retro game enthusiast, active in the indie game community, and a member of the Japan French Fries Association.
