Futuregames

From dancer and choreographer to Game Designer and studio co-founder. 🎮

After almost 20 years in the performing arts, Cecilia Wretemark-Hauck decided to bring her creativity into a completely new field.

At Futuregames, she found not only her identity as a Game Designer, but also her future co-founder, Kasper Enwall. Together, they started Loud Woman as part of their LIA internship and are now developing their first game, MURK.

“If the fire is burning inside you, don’t hesitate. Take the chance.”

From Futuregames to Technical Designer at DICE!

Isabelle graduated from the Game Designer programme at Futuregames Stockholm in 2026, after specialising in Tech/System Design.

From the beginning, Isabelle had a clear goal: to become a Technical Designer and complete her internship at DICE. She stayed focused throughout her studies, secured the internship,and has now continued her journey at DICE as a Technical Designer.

In her role, Isabelle works closely with designers, artists and programmers to implement gameplay features, combining creativity with technical problem-solving.

In our latest interview, she shares more about the hands-on projects, friendships and industry experience that helped prepare her for her career – as well as her advice for aspiring game developers:

“Work hard, be curious, and make the most of your time at school.”
