I'm Tatiana (Karaman) Funk, though I frequently go by Tanya.

I live in Calgary, AB, Canada where the mountains are close and the climbing gyms even closer. I play an important role in the local dog rescue community, and my home is full of brain slices.

I don’t see myself as an expert in any one specialization, but a well-rounded creator who thrives in a collaborative environment.

There are so many ways to interact, absorb information, and explore the world around us. I love combining different disciplines to create interesting, interactive experiences for education, medicine and entertainment.

 

I am one of the directors of the Calgary Game Developer's Association (CGDA) and spent the last three years as a lead level designer at Shifty Eye Studios.

Previously, I built interactive virtual training simulators and e-learning tools, primarily for the energy industry. To date, I have helped ship over a dozen products for use on PCs, tablets, and VR headsets.

Most of my work focuses on the following:

• Level Design
• User Interface Design and Development
• 3D Modeling, Texturing, and Scene Building
• Development of Features and Interactions in Unity3D
