Hello!

I'm Max Wierda

I've been pursuing a well-rounded design education to become a versatile designer. Game design is a strong passion of mine, and I find great satisfaction in working closely with others. For me, the most important aspect of work is finding enjoyment, which is why I always appreciate a good joke.

2020-2022
first two years of studying
In the fabulous year 2020, I kicked off my academic adventure at the age of 17. Initially, I had dreams of becoming a teacher, but life had other plans in store for me. I ultimately chose to dive headfirst into my current major, Creative Media & Game Technologies. Those first two years of study were anything but a breeze, especially with the chaotic arrival of Covid-19. Yet, I powered through, completing both years and even acing the first one with full credits. These two years weren't just about textbooks and lectures; they were also a crash course in discipline and efficiency, skills that turned out to be my secret weapons in the world of online learning.

2022-2023
Internship
My third year turned out to be a year of tremendous personal growth and self-discovery. I embarked on an internship journey at TRIMM, where I delved into the world of low-code technology. Although low-code wasn't exactly my cup of tea, this experience enriched me in unexpected ways, especially in understanding the dynamics of corporate life. It dawned on me that self-motivation is paramount, and the significance of a pleasant work environment filled with wonderful colleagues cannot be overstated. This revelation was an invaluable lesson in itself. During my internship, I had the privilege of being mentored by the remarkable Jeroen Wijnholds. He not only imparted knowledge about low-code but also shared wisdom that will undoubtedly benefit me throughout my life.

minor
The second half of that year I spend in South Korea, Seoul. Doing an exchange minor at Soongsil University. During my minor I learned about Asian history, War history, Korean language and much more. Being on the opposite side of the world for a full half-year was a transformative experience, one that significantly enriched my personality and character. As an added bonus, I had the fantastic opportunity to visit other incredible destinations like Japan's bustling Tokyo and the enchanting landscapes of Vietnam along the way. It was nothing short of super cool!
