Kevin Fredin

Hello there!
How nice of you to drop by. Lets get the past out of the way before we think about the future, shall we?
"As a person I am result oriented and driven by clear goals and freedom in my work. I value and am motivated by a strong team spirit with my colleagues and long-term relationships with our customers and stakeholders, and I take great responsibility for both my own and my companies commitments. I am a responsive and humble team player with great integrity. I also have the ability to see the big picture, to prioritize and work in a structured and analytical way against set targets."
I have had this description of me on LinkedIn for quite some time now. While I admit that it's extremely dry and doesn't really roll of the tongue, I think it describes why I have been successful in my prior line of work. However I also feel like there are parts of me it doesn't cover.
The fact that I am a very creative person with a vivid imagination that enjoys storytelling. That I love logical puzzles and finding solutions to problems. Finally, that I have a huge passion for games!
TGA has been an amazing place to start this journey and all these parts of me have been challenged and utilized, but it's only the beginning. I am here now with the hope of finding a place were I can continue to grow and learn and be a part of something truly exciting.
