Alessandro Friargiu

I build worlds that give players the freedom to explore and the tools to understand them, without ever telling them what to think.

I am a London-based designer with a BSc in Game, Animation, Modelling and Effects from London Metropolitan University. My approach to design starts with a question: what does this space make the player feel? Everything else follows from there.

My debut project, Tomb Raider: Lost and Found, took ten years from the first blueprint to release. It was built almost entirely by hand, inside a twenty-year-old engine, and it ranked 8th most downloaded on the platform on debut. It was presented at Tomb Raider Derby 2024 alongside community figures who have been building levels since 2003. That experience taught me more about player behaviour, pacing, and environmental storytelling than any course ever could.

I am fluent in English and Italian, and I am based in London and open to both in-office and remote opportunities.
