I learned to type by playing adventure games
My father brought home a copy of Space Quest I not long after I was 2 years old. Transfixed, I watched him and, as the family lore records, I typed “buy robot” on my own after seeing him do it. I’ve been a fan of games, especially those that tell a story, for as long as I can remember.
When I grew up, I studied Filmmaking at the London Film Academy, which gave me a wonderful grounding in the art of visual storytelling. I’ve walked many paths since then, from working on film sets to archiving 35mm film elements to performing and directing Voice Acting.
Now it’s time for me to come home. I’ve just graduated from studying Games Writing under Adrian Ropp (head writer of Hogwarts Legacy and Disney Infinity). I’m ready to make my first move into the AAA industry.
