I worked at Studio Gobo in Brighton as a 'Junior Technical Designer' from the beginning of August 2018 to December 2019. I'm not able to say much about my time on the project and specifics of what I contributed due to a strict NDA.

During my year and a half working at Studio GOBO I worked on 'Hogwarts Legacy', during this time I worked on various different gameplay systems, but primarily focused on working with the team in the USA on designing and developing the core player camera systems, like an advanced follow camera and systems to allow stair traversal with minimal camera collision.

To the core is a Roguelike third-person platforming game developed during the third year of my education. In the game, you play as Emily, a young woman with a massive robotic fist who enters a robot-filled universe through the infinite trashcan in her father's workshop to save her father... again.

My Role

I developed Thrasher for an external client to make use of a Kite Surfing Simulator controller, this control rig could pull you around with force feedback, steer left and right, and you could pull the controller in and out. Perfect for a Sci-Fi chariot racing game.

My Role

System & Level Designer
Did I Mention is a first-person puzzle game with interesting game systems. The primary systems of the game are based around rewinding certain objects, freezing objects in place, and initially, switching dimensions, though this part was not prevalent in the final product, it still heavily influenced the name.

ABOUT ME
I am a Technical Designer from the UK currently working at Great Ape Games.

In my years of experience as a game designer I've worked in most areas of design, from combat design to level design and can always adapt to fit what's most needed in a team.

As a developer I prioritize making each of my games fun to play moment to moment by implementing great 'game feel' through scripting, tweaking, testing, rapid iteration and prototyping.

I studied in a project-based learning environment at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. During that time, I developed games in multidisciplinary teams while being mentored by industry veterans. This developed my communication skills and practical knowledge a huge amount.
 
As a gamer I love to play all kinds of games; I have almost as many hours in Skate and SUPERHOT as I do in World of Warcraft and Kerbal Space Program. I can find fun in any experience and I love making great games.
