Hello! I am a professional game designer, writer, researcher, workshop designer, and
multidisciplinary artist based in London. My work explores identity, mental and spiritual
health, and using the past to imagine a better future. I hold an MFA in Computational Arts
from Goldsmiths University and have published tabletop roleplaying games and artworks for
both young and adult audiences.

Through games, digital art, performance, and poetry, I create worldbuilding and character
creation techniques that empower people to express themselves, reflect on their lives, and
connect through storytelling and play. I’m passionate about uplifting marginalised voices and
believe a playful approach to art and mental health can foster healing, strengthen
relationships, and inspire hope in a world that might seem hostile and hopeless.

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I take the time to understand and
address the specific needs of each client, project, or artwork. Respect, trust, and dialogue
are central to my practice, and I strive to cultivate these values in everything I do.
As a neurodivergent person who grew up undiagnosed, I know how powerful games and
stories can be. In my most difficult times, they’ve always been there to help me figure myself
out and come to an understanding of what I was feeling and experiencing. To this day,
they’ve helped me navigate challenges, build self-compassion, and envision a hopeful
future. Now, I create methods to help others do the same, finding healing and understanding
through creativity and self-reflection.

I prioritise a respectful, flexible approach tailored to the unique needs of every client or
project. Listening, trust, and dialogue are central to my practice. I also hold up-to-date DBS
and safeguarding training.

No matter your age or background, I believe there is always something we can learn from
one another. Together, we can explore creative ways to grow and imagine a better world.
