Who is Junior Mafuta?

Hello!

​

I am a Computer Games Design graduate with an eagerness to create impactful experiences for players.

 

My journey began when I joined a Scratch coding club in primary school and since then I've continued to engage in various game jams and communities alongside studying game design in college and university with the dream of one day pursuing a career in games development.

​​​​​​​

Recently, ​I was selected as one of the Into Games' 2025 IG50 winners in the Design & Narrative category.

​

Outside of the world of gaming, I enjoy watching and occasionally playing sports such as football, tennis and athletics which helps sharpen my problem-solving skills.​​​​​
