I am a first class graduate of a BSc in Interactive Media at the University of York and ex-Gameloft producer, currently working as Game Designer for mobile games studio Viker. I'm a driven creative with the determination to make his mark in the games industry, willing (quite literally) to travel to the other side of the world in pursuit of this goal.
Game development is gradually taking over every aspect of my life, from going to work as a game designer every day, to making games on the side, to reading books about the craft, to following online courses in my spare time to keep on learning, all while leaving some time to play games and relax. I have developed a range of skills; from UX, App, and Web Design, to Filmmaking, and of course Game Development.
