About

Hi! My name is Jared Skold (American, b. 1985). I am a skilled game designer with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Game Design from the Laguna College of Art & Design, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Game Art & Design from the Art Institute of California-San Francisco.

I possess expertise in iterative prototyping, in-engine development, and collaborative design, successfully leading global teams on indie projects using Unreal Engine. My diverse background includes creating engaging gameplay mechanics for tabletop card games, serving as Gameplay Capture Specialist at 2K Games, and contributing as QA Analyst for various AAA titles, including the iconic Rock Band franchise, since 2008. Proficient in Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, Photoshop, and more, I’m dedicated to crafting immersive interactive entertainment that captivates players.

Beyond video games, my interests include movies, pinball, graphic novels, tabletop games, the art of juggling, and tiki cocktails. Let’s connect and collaborate on the next great gaming adventure!
