About

Hi, I’m Cathal, a writer, producer, and narrative designer with a real love for blending fantasy, comedy, sci-fi, and horror into stories people enjoy. I come to writing from a culinary background too—I’ve cooked professionally for years, and I still bring that same energy to creating: fast iteration, sharp taste, and a focus on what makes an audience lean in.

I’ve worked across games and video production, including developing game narratives and supporting production teams from concept through delivery. I also enjoy building content for audiences outside games, from scripting and editing to directing marketing campaigns, and I’m always looking for the next fun project—whether it’s storytelling, world-building, or cooking up something delicious.
