About
Short bio
I'm a Game Designer based in Scotland. I studied Architecture at Degree level at DJCAD in Dundee. In 2002 I joined the video games industry, and 2 years later I moved into game design. I've worked on levels, UI, combat, narrative, economies, UX, bosses, rhythm action, driving. I became a Lead Designer in 2006 and continued to lead the design of games across lots of genres, across many business models, in many team sizes from 6 - 200. In 2019 I started working as a lecturer at Abertay University in Scotland and in 2024 I started leading the Game Design and Production Degree programme.
