Balance between analytical and creative thinking. I can maintain a perfect balance between the two. Both of them are complementary and interdependent. The creative process needs to exist for any experimentation, while the analytical thinking is here to be precise and accurate. I can find the right balance between these two approaches easily.Cooperation Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.Focus on my strengths working in the video game industry requires a diverse range of skills, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed trying to be good at everything. I know how to embrace what I'm good at, and recognize what I'm not so good at. I'm not afraid to self-reflect and allow myself not to be absolutely perfect, learning from others to help me fill the gaps, and learn more to fill my weakness.
