I'm a creative writer and narrative designer with a background in Film & Broadcast Production and a 2023 MA in Creative Writing. My work spans screenwriting, script development, and factual/journalistic writing at editorial levels, and I’ve been applying these skills to the video game industry, shaping compelling narratives for MMORPGs and narrative-driven titles. Beyond writing, I’ve opened and grown a local video game community hub in Cardiff, hosted events, supported charities, and produced podcast, live streams, and video content. My experience in music and sound engineering, video editing, and project management rounds out a versatile skill set that helps teams tell engaging stories and build vibrant gaming communities.
