about me

My name is Lucas van den Heuvel, and I am a designer. Currently, I do:

And I am developing my skills in: Since September 2023, I have been studying for a Bachelor of Applied Science called Creative Media and Game Technologies at Saxion University of Applied Sciences, because I am extremely interested in creating and designing games. I have passed my first year with no insufficient grades and passed my propaedeutic year with all 60 ECs and an average grade of 8,0/10. I have passed my second year as well with an average grade of 7,7/10. I passed my third year with an average grade of 9,0/10. In this year, I completed a minor European Project Semester with a focus on Gamification at the University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten in Austria with a 9,3/10, and an internship in Game Design at Denda Games in Hengelo with an 8,0/10 as part of my studies.

Soon, I will start my fourth year, consisting of an IMT&S Project for the Hengelo Light Festival, where roughly 10.000 are expected to come and have the opportunity to play our game, and a graduation module in the second half of the year. I hope to finish this study in June of 2027.

Ever since I played my first video game; New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS, I knew that this was what I wanted to make when I grew up. I never gave up this dream and am still holding on to it.

The One who inspires me most is Jesus, God in the flesh, the Creator of art, the One Who designed the entire universe with art from gigantic to minuscule. He inspires me to design and create myself, and this inspiration can be found in my games, websites, paintings, and music.
Check out my testimony!

Making a game is about creating a lively world, special characters, and getting color and lighting right. I want to do this myself and especially focus on making stages and levels.

I created this website myself using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so it immediately functions as a portfolio item. I will use photos and screenshots to give a good impression of my interests, skills, and talents. I also hope that it gives you an idea of my passion for art and Game Design.

I have hands-on experience building websites, including this portfolio site using HTML/CSS and www.wzzorg.nl using WordPress. I have also experimented with creating and securing a database using PHP, XAMPP, and phpMyAdmin. These projects have given me a strong understanding of web design, graphic design, user experience, and content management systems.

Currently, I am experimenting with generative AI and researching if it can be used in a responsible way in the creative industry.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a growing interest in PR, marketing, and journalism, and I am proficient in MS Office, with a particular focus on improving my Excel skills to better analyze and manage digital content. I am confident that my combination of web development expertise, creative mindset, and attention to detail would allow me to contribute effectively to online platforms.

With a foundation in both game development and web development, I am passionate about creating interactive experiences that inspire and connect people. I'm eager to learn and adapt quickly. I work hard and like to start a project well-prepared. I believe this makes me a valuable asset for your company.

Are you interested in what I do, or do you have any questions? Do you need a website, game, logo, or illustration? Want to talk about God? Or join an (online) Bible exploration group? Or did you find a bug on this website, perhaps?

Please don't hesitate to contact me! I will respond as soon as possible!



P.S. In December of 2025, I made my musical debut as Luke on the hill on all major streaming platforms with two other artists. Listen to our first song called 'Grain of Soul' here!
