Skills

Welcome to my website. At its heart this is a portfolio 'site, but it also includes more general links to my creative projects and social endeavours.

I am an 'indie' game designer, and a keen practitioner of cartography and graphic design. I also describe myself as an aesthete, while the Meyers-Briggs Indicator Test describes me as INTJ. Both descriptions fit me pretty well.

I'm currently co-founding an independent games studio, while working on a variety of web projects based on my passions and interests. At the end of the day, I hope to bring a wide variety of interests and experiences into the work I do, channeling them into games which are fun and engaging.

EDUCATION

2005-2009: Bachelor of Arts (honours) in Computer Games Design at the University of Huddersfield.
2003-2005: 'A'-Levels in Media Studies, Computing and Graphic Design at Queen Mary's College, Basingstoke.
