The Founder
Kim Mursu has a background in computer science, sales, sales management and sales education. He studied some computer science courses in 2007-2009 at MDU, Mälardalens University. He chose to take a break from the studies to try something completely different and jumped into sales, expecting a short and hard career. After just a couple of months he was promoted to manager and has been in sales for the past 13 years since.
In 2019 the urge to create digital content arose once again. Kim downloaded Blender and a game engine and set a new goal to teach himself about game development. Over the course of the next three years he made game development one of his interests and hobbies.
2021 was a very unfortunate year, where he lost three close relatives in a very short period of time and his fiancée was in a car accident. These four events caused a severe depression and while being home from work a couple of months he desided now is the time. He returned to work in 2022 and after a few months he was ready: Walrus Game Studios was founded and he turned all his focus to his company instead.
Kim is a very playful 35 years old person. He loves storytelling and has always had a interest in learning. He used to travel alot before the pandemic, however in 2022 Kim and his fiancée got themselves a beautiful flatcoated retriever (Luna), so travelling the world is on hold for quite some time now.
He has some hobbies, where travelling used to be one. He still loves video games and a great story, no matter it being found in a movie or a book. His one passion is however dogs.
