About Aviva Schecterson

Senior Combat Designer (Game Designer) at Stoic Studio

Not available to consult on specific game projects at this time

I’m a game designer living in the Greater Seattle Area, currently working as a combat designer at Stoic Studio.

I graduated from DigiPen Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Arts in Game Design in 2016; I also have an Associate of Arts in Digital Gaming from Bellevue College from 2012. I have previously worked as a game designer at Amazon Game Studios and as a tabletop games developer and editor at Lone Shark Games. In the past, I have held internships at Paizo and Signal Studios.

In my free time, I spoil my cats (Ash (14) & Pepita (2)), hike, work out, bake, and read romance novels.

“I had my first session with Aviva, and she patiently listened to my questions and advised me thoughtfully. She asked specific questions to explore the situation further, find the root causes, and explore solutions. Overall, I felt like our conversation was productive and helpful, and she was really friendly and supportive.”

“Aviva was kind and made use of our short time well by guiding the conversation in order to assess the right kind of advice for me. I felt supported as a student trying to explore the game design field as I was encouraged to continue building my skills in a realistic, applicable way.”
