ABOUT
I am a game designer, recently graduated of Game Development: Design BA (Hons) at Falmouth University.
​
I have both experience working in multi-disciplinary teams as a designer and leading them as a project manager, with a high level of Agile practice throughout. Any and all projects I undertake I have done so with the utmost professionalism.
​
Ultimately I am a passionate creative, with a spark for games and the design of them. I wish to create memorable experiences and evoke emotion from all who consume my works.
