Meet Steven Shilling
Interactive Game Developer Mentor

Learning game development with Steven means being guided by someone who has lived and breathed game development across every corner of the industry; from mobile and VR to console, PC, and beyond. With over 15 years of hands-on game development experience and 20+ years across the creative industries, Steven brings real-world knowledge directly into your learning journey, so what you're building and practising is always grounded in how studios actually work today.

Steven knows what it takes to go from student to professional and he designs your experience with that end goal in mind. You won't just learn theory; you'll develop the self-directed problem-solving and research habits that are essential for a long, adaptable career in a technical field like game development.

Steven's background spans training designers, developers, and artists at top-tier international studios and universities across Game Development, VFX, and Film meaning he's skilled at meeting learners where they are, regardless of experience level. He understands that every student arrives with different interests, strengths, and ambitions, and he tailors his mentorship to suit your goals rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

The games industry today offers a diverse range of career paths, and your Lumify Learn journey is designed with that in mind. Steven's mentorship complements this by tailoring support to your individual goals helping you build not just technical skills, but the problem-solving confidence that carries you through a long career.
