My working life

Bio

I am an avid Game Designer with a particular interest in the design and development of Serious Games and Augmented Reality products. Through working on my projects, I have gained experience at a variety of game development tasks and I have also acquired good teamwork, writing, and communication skills. Innovation is extremely important to me as a Game Designer, due to the fact that innovation is what separates your game from others.
