I am a Screenwriting and Drama graduate from the University of Worcester. Since graduating, I have been working on freelance and personal writing projects, including multiple feature length screenplays, a short film which I am hoping to produce, theatre plays and narrative design for video games. While working on some of these projects, I have been collaborating with other creatives, bouncing ideas and combining our skills together. I currently lead narrative design at Crab Bucket Games and volunteer as a Dungeon Master at Dice Box Worcester, bringing storytelling to interactive experiences. I am passionate about story-first game design, strong writing, and delivering under pressure while meeting deadlines.
