At my core, I am a storyteller. I’ve been a storyteller since I was a kid: creating imaginary adventures for my little brother (complete with dastardly villains and triumphant victories). Once I discovered games, they became the vehicle for my creativity. All my life, I have been driven to tell stories through mechanics and interactive worlds. I have been lucky enough to turn my passion into my career. My experience thinking about and working with games has been diverse.

I wrote my Masters dissertation on narrative design structures in games. I have created physical gameplay experiences and designed gripping narrative experiences within them. I independently designed, crowdfunded and produced my own board game. And most recently, I work in London developing new mobile game concepts. Regardless of the medium, my focus as a game designer is to craft meaningful and fun experiences to players. 

I believe that the best experiences are built by diverse teams that are guided by a clear vision. As a game designer, I safeguard and champion the vision of the games I work on. I articulate the vision of the game in succinct and applicable pillars, which in turn act as the north star for the team. With game pillars set, my focus is to channel the creativity of my team towards the high level goals of the experience. I am experienced in communicating game vision with different disciplines at all levels of development, from early concept to full scale production documentation.

I pride myself on being flexible and able to adapt to changing circumstances and production requirements. I think quickly and listen to expertise, always seeking to contribute an open minded approach to design. As a professional, I constantly seek feedback and growth. I hold myself and the work I deliver to a high standard, and value the input of my colleagues immensely. Likewise, I most enjoy working with people who pursue excellence as well.
