I am a Game Designer currently in my 4th year studying Games Design and Production at Abertay University, in Dundee, Scotland. 

During my time in university, I have studied a wide range of subjects across Game Design, Game Art, and QA, and have become familiar with a wide range of software including UE4/5, Unity, Maya, and Zbrush. I have developed a very broad range of knowledge through this, allowing me a greater understanding of many disciplines, but have been focusing on generalist game design in recent years. 

I'm currently focused on exploring player behaviour and how game design can be used to manipulate players - particularly ways in which games can be used as a tool to encourage introspective play or games that bend the typical definitions of "player" and "game". My work on this can be seen through my board games; OutLord and my Honours Project.

I'm searching for all Internships and Junior roles within Games Design, based remotely.

Aside from university work, I have completed multiple projects in my own time that have given me some much more hands-on experience. 

In 2021 I worked on an internship with SSE Thermal alongside 3 of my peers to create a game that was showcased at the COP26 convention in Glasgow. I worked as both a designer and artist on this project. The game was a massive success at the convention and went on to receive praise from BAFTA and the Duke of Cambridge.

In 2022, I submitted a game concept to BAFTA's Young Games Designers Competition and became the winning entrant in my category. I was later invited to present the award for Best Games Design at the 2023 BAFTA Awards with a fellow winner.

Also in 2022, I completed another internship creating gamified training scenarios for a global company. I got to work on a pre-existing project, working inside a custom-built narrative/dialogue system, relying solely on documentation to implement my designs.

Aside from game design, I like to keep busy with a range of hobbies and interests.

For one, I really love puzzles like nonograms, sudoku, and jigsaws (I LOVE the Professor Layton series), and make a habit of doing some puzzles every night before bed. I also am a big fan of art, although I don't much time to paint these days. And I, of course, love playing games too, and am a huge fan of the "cozy" gaming genre, with some of my favourite games being Stardew Valley, Lake, and Cities: Skylines.
