Game & Level Design
Particularly focused on level design and narrative worldbuilding, I’m passionate and experienced across all aspects of game design and development. I love the unique creative collaboration between disciplines that making games brings.
​
Currently at QUT developing my prototyping skills, I’m building a diverse skill set to work dynamically with teams and design emotive, memorable experiences.
Hey, thanks for stopping by, many areas of this site are still under construction as I wrap up my studies over the following weeks.
