About Me

I am a Game Designer with a strong focus on gameplay systems and mechanics, dedicated to crafting responsive, intuitive, and rewarding player experiences. I have a sharp eye for best-in-class polish and player-first design required to make any system or mechanic feel deeply satisfying. With proven experience in Unreal Engine and Blueprints, I’m able to prototype and iterate rapidly, turning ideas into playable experiences efficiently. I am highly collaborative, with a strong track record of feature ownership and effective cross-disciplinary communication to keep teams aligned and focused.

Most recently, I’ve worked at Awe Interactive on an unreleased project, where I have taken ownership of designing multiple core FPS and RPG gameplay features, including Player Abilities, Progression Systems, Dialogue and Exploration Mechanics, UI/UX, and more. Drawing on over a decade of experience prototyping in Unreal Engine, I have been able to rapidly iterate and develop key Blueprints and Editor Utility Widgets (EUWs), supporting the Engineering, Level Design, and Art teams with flexible, production-ready actors, prototypes and tools.

I graduated University with a distinction in MA Games Design and have been recognised as an outstanding graduate in games design by TIGA in 2021 for my exemplary work produced while studying BEng (Hons) Computer Game Design at Staffordshire University.

My key attributes include my dedication, hardworking ethic and approachable nature. As a highly collaborative developer, I find it important to create a positive environment and encourage discussion – this is my strongest personality trait, and its often pretty infectious. A team is not a team unless they are emboldened to learn, succeed and grow together.

My many years of education and industry experience has given me the following skills:

• Expertise in Unreal Engine Blueprints (Including EUW tooling)

• Rapid Prototyping in Unreal

• Strong knowledge of conventions and creative solutions regarding:

  • Combat Design (1st and 3rd Person, Abilities, Weapons, Movement, A.I. etc.)

  • 3Cs (Character, Controls, Camera)

  • Quest, Mission and Level Design (Linear and Hub, Combat, Platforming, Immersive Simulation etc.)

  • System Design (Progression, Inventory, Dialogue, Shops, Maps, UI/UX)

  • Puzzle Design

• High Level and Detailed Design Documentation

• Technical and Tutorial/Helper Documentation

• Cross-Disciplinary problem solving

• Rapid uptake and learning of in-house tooling

• Demonstrating and teaching Blueprint skills to multiple disciplines
