About Me

I am a writer and narrative designer currently based in the bustling town of Leamington Spa, England.


I started working in the games industry in 2018 when I was halfway through my Masters Degree.


In my spare time I write novels (yet to be published, watch this space), boulder, travel, box and cosplay!
