9th Jan 2024

Tell us a bit of information about your experience/career background?

I have had the pleasure of working on a multitude of titles across many different genres. Through multiple console cycles I have been able to help push the boundaries in the experiences that games deliver.

Why d3t?

d3t work on a wide variety of top titles which as a designer, creates ample opportunity to learn and grow. Being able to contribute to such exciting projects whilst sharing my own experiences was something that really drew me to the studio.

What do you love about games?

Games create such an immersive media limited only by the technological constraints provided during that moment in time. Games create community, memories, and a relationship between immersive media and player that no other medium can match.

What games are you currently playing, and what is your favourite game?

I try to play a wide range of games. My personal favourite genre is horror, and I recently completed the excellent Alan Wake 2. When it comes to my favourite game, I have always been a Nintendo acolyte. The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker probably stands as my all-time favourite game closely followed by Super Mario 64.

Do you have any fun facts or hobbies?

I am a huge sports enthusiast. Premier League is my first love followed by the NFL, NBA, and NHL. When not playing sport, I am often found painting and playing Warhammer Age of Sigmar. As well as video games I really enjoy tabletop gaming.
