Hi there!

I’m a Game designer with five years of experience, two shipped games, and a Master's in Game Design. I’ve primarily worked in Level, Technical and Narrative Design Fields. But I love all things game design, and I’ve touched on combat, systems, balance, and optimisation during my career.

I have a strong technical background in computer science, and I love collaborating and teaching within and across disciplines. 

Games and Game Dev are my greatest passion; I adore discussing and dissecting games and mechanics with friends and figuring out new ways to weave narrative and play into a cohesive, seamless experience.
