Who is Junior Mafuta?
Hello!
​
I am a Computer Games Design graduate with an eagerness to create experiences that stick with players long after the game ends.
My journey started in primary school when I joined a small Scratch coding club where I learned how putting blocks together could bring an idea to life. Before I knew it, I found myself participating in game jams, contributing to collaborative projects and eventually studying game design in both college and university. I have been chasing the same thrill throughout this journey - finding new ways to make mechanics feel meaningful and fun - with the dream of one day pursuing a career in games development.
​​​​​​​
In 2025, ​I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of Into Games’ IG50 winners in the Design & Narrative category - this recognition strengthened my motivation to keep designing games that resonate with players.
​
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.​​​​​
