About

I am a multidisciplinary creative based in South England working in the games industry. I am a recent graduate of University of Southampton with BA Games Design and Art, and have previous experience in industry from a year-long internship.As a designer, I believe my biggest strength is my unique approach to idea generation and problem solving. I take inspiration from a variety of niches, and I love learning new things to inform my practice. I enjoy using my creativity in many ways, from writing narrative to designing mechanics, producing music to designing characters; I take great satisfaction in seeing each step of the production process and being involved in whatever ways I can along the way.

Writing Excerpts

You really should remove yourself from the nest of blankets and plushies that is your bed, but the dread of the cold morning air has you rolling onto your side and opening instagram instead. Surely 10 minutes of doomscrolling won't hurt.(Show sprite of a hand holding a phone - the screen shows a social media interface similar to Instagram)Cat video. Cat video. Some really cool fan art. Some really questionable fan art. Cat video.Yep, same as always.- Kamioshi: Chapter 1, Scene 1

Raine waits but there’s no scoff or terse response as expected. In fact, Carter doesn’t seem to acknowledge their presence at all. He simply keeps his gaze downcast, fumbling with his keys to get them in the lock.“Carter?”The keys drop from his hands, hitting the polished floor with a clatter. When Carter makes no move to pick them up, opting instead to continue staring at his hands, Raine decides to make their approach, concern beginning to creep up on them. As they draw nearer they notice the man trembling slightly, almost imperceptibly. Raine leans down to meet his eyes and finds them clouded over by unshed tears.- Time Stops

Understanding dawns on Christopher before it is quickly replaced by panic. He scrambles backwards towards the kitchen counter, patting the surface clumsily for an object to defend himself with, hand eventually grasping the handle of a… wooden spoon?F***!He tries again, this time finding the large knife he’d been aiming for and bringing it in front of him in a defensive stance. His breath comes frantically and his eyes are wild as they remain locked on the threat before him.- Shake the Devil's Hand

Later that evening, Alice returns home and digs out her old forgotten radio from storage. She tunes in to Lettie’s late night show and accompanied by the woman’s dulcet tones, she paints. Only when the broadcast comes to an end hours later does she lay down her brush and take in her creation. It’s not good, not by any stretch, but there’s something new about it. It’s not bad in the way her usual pieces are, dull and predictable and uninspired. This is messy, unrefined, chaotic and feverish, but it’s full of something she hasn’t seen in her work for nearly a decade. Passion. It’s not good, but it’s a step in the right direction.- Paint me in your vibrant hues
