About Me
I've had a passion for video games all my life, this extended to the design aspect in college, leading me to attend the University of Huddersfield to study Game Design further. Here I developed a passion for Blueprints in Unreal Engine 4/5, finding enjoyment from creating functional prototypes and developer tools.
​
I enjoy discussion about what makes elements of games work, and how developers make decisions to connect with their players. I also enjoy working in a team and seeing a completed prototype/idea come to fruition.
