The first question you're always asked is, how did you know you wanted to get into games? I didn't know until I was 16 - I happened to stumble across a YouTube video of a streamer playing The Last of Us. All of a sudden a game and a console worth £££ was free - huge for a working class kid growing up in a low income home.

I spent the summer enthralled with video games, and it became quickly apparent to me that this is where I belonged. Being a teen obsessed with telling stories and crafting with cardboard, soon after achieving my MArt Game Art, I started working in Design.

For over four years, I have worked as a Designer at AAA and indie studios, on console, PC and VR titles. My credits include, Dreams at Media Molecule/PlayStation, and The Siege and the Sandfox at Cardboard Sword - plus current NDA'd projects and studios. My specialism is level design, however I've successfully worked on game, narrative, and UI design tasks too.

Everything I develop has diversity, equity, inclusion in mind. On accessibility into the industry, I penned a video essay, was interviewed by People Make Games, and have spoken on panels at BAFTA, Games Anglia, and internally at Splash Damage. Commissioned by CRC Press, I am writing 'The Pocket Mentor for Level Designers', a guide chronicling how to get into the industry, from first interest in high school to the first year in the job.
