About

As a queer and autistic game developer and writer, I'm passionate about the production side of games, film and narrative-driven content.

 

I am currently an MSc Student in Technical Art and VFX at Abertay University, having graduated with a 2:1 in Computer Arts in 2024. 

 

Outside of that, I'm a video editor, having worked on game trailers, content creation for YouTube and TikTok.

​

My favourite genres are fantasy, supernatural, and dark romance, which you'll find me reading or playing. I have too much random knowledge about vampires and werewolves.

​

I am currently residing in Scotland.
