Sam Bagshaw

I’m Sam Bagshaw, a detail-oriented game designer with a BA (Hons) in Games Design from Teesside University, specialising in puzzle, level, and narrative design. I enjoy creating player experiences that feel clear and fair at the right moments—using spatial communication, pacing, and playtesting to surprise and challenge players without sacrificing understanding.

I’ve worked across both solo and team projects, including designing a non-linear Unreal Engine 5 puzzle hub, a 2-player co-op sci-fi platforming level, and writing an interactive Twine branching narrative called “What I Become.” I’m particularly drawn to ideas-driven games that explore emotion and identity, and I’m excited to bring my creativity and iteration-focused approach into the wider games industry.
