Generalist Game Designer that also has an affinity for Technical, Systems and Level Design.
Solutions focused & problem solving expert. Experienced in Unity and Unreal Engine.

I feel that I have a superpower - I bring an unrivalled level of morale & motivation boosting energy to any company and team that I get to work with.
I pride myself on being a cross-discipline ally that doesn't design with ego.

During design and game development, I focus on removing ambiguity and the unknown. Creating a cohesive and achievable vision with clear and actionable roadmap forward.
I have a proven track record of creating elegant design solutions within time constraints and technical limitations.
I'm always in-engine building the game with my teams.

I have worked at PlaySide Studios | All Possible Futures | Krome Studios
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Game Design (6.42 GPA). My portfolio can be found below, highlighting some of my professional game design work.

After a recent & unexpected redundancy from PlaySide - I’m in the process of updating my Portfolio, CV & LinkedIn - Sorry, bare with me <3 - I have 5 years worth of experience to add! Please reach out if you’d like to chat.
