Game Director & Lead UI/UX designer, working on Piece By Piece at Gamkat & Descenders Next

Pinned
I forgot to do an intro post! I'm a little all over the place but primarily I'm a Principle UI/UX Designer & Art Director, more recently moved full time with my team on our, for a little while longer, NDA project.

A few of the things I've done that aren't under an NDA, some old, one new :x 👋

Iggy was an invaluable tester and contributed so much to the project. He was absolutely brilliant in the game and came up with so many original strategies we had never considered.

Please help us spread the word and as we help find him a living kidney donor. 💙
A plea for help. 🙏
One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor.

His story, contact and donor information can all be found on
iggyland.org

Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

Our game! ❤️
We've been so busy working on the game itself, we missed the normal 10k wishlists milestone, so we're doing a 15k one!

Hey lovely peeps, do I know a very technically inclined (unity) game industry advocate ambassador anywhere in Europe?

Someone that loves to go to events and talk to people about their games, experiences and any technical issues.

Must be job hunting!

Shares are very appreciated 🧡

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen.

We just want to make cool stuff for people.

Regardless of reasons for or against AI, I'm actually really tired of the word AI now, and it gives any product I see some tacky vibe to it now :/

So uh, I have an announcement. THAT'S MY MUSIC 😭😭❤️
Long before I became a UI designer, I dreamed of becoming a video game composer. And thanks to Gamkat and No More Robots, that dream has FINALLY come true.
This means SO much to me, you have no idea. My music is in a freaking video game!!!
