Melissa Janowicz

 I am an experienced Combat, Gameplay and Systems Designer with leadership experience. Currently I am working at Epic Games as a Senior Gameplay Designer on Fortnite.

​

 I have an very wide depth of experience working in creative roles on teams of all sizes (2 to 1000+). I'm extremely passionate about working with multidisciplinary teams to find the fun in areas like Combat, Player and 3Cs, AI, and Systems.

​

 I've also been a huge advocate for diversity in the games industry, and respect and celebrate diverse voices in our business. Earlier on in my career I even ran a popular advocacy group for diverse developers and students. Nowadays, I use my position as a design expert to set a standard where everyone deserves an equal seat at the table without ever being double burdened and where all diverse developers are treated with dignity and respect.
