About
My name is Shahrzad Beevis
/ʃɑrˈzæd/ (pronounced Sha-ahr-zard)
Hi there! My name's Shahrzad, but I go by Shaz. I'm currently a third year BSc Computer Games Design and Development student at the University of Winchester and am excited to begin my career in the game industry.
​
I am also a Woman in Games Ambassador, and am incredibly passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion within the gaming space on both sides of the industry wall.
As a mature student with over a decade of experience in the working world, the opportunity to expand my skill set while pursuing what I enjoy is invaluable. Within development I have been primarily focused on C# and Unity, whilst building my knowledge in game design principles and world building. I've worked hard on my project management skills by leaning into Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban, and have a keen interest in pursuing game production upon graduation.
