ABOUT ME
Hello! I’m a 3rd year student game designer studying at Falmouth University. I mainly specialise in level and environment design, as well as project management. I also experiment with product/application design and website design.
When working in engine I generally use Unity, with some experience in Unreal 5. However, when designing concepts I primarily use Figma. Currently I am working within a university studio named Luminous Bear Studios, however after graduation we may branch into our own indie studio.

Experience
FAB AESTHETICS, Part time Website Designer & Social Media Manager
Over the past year I have helped FAB Aesthetics part time with managing their social media account by editing and posting content, as well as occasionally contacting clients about bookings.
However, my main job when working with FAB Aesthetics is designing a new website for their services. This update is currently in progress, and won’t be published and displayed until further notice.
To aid in my design process, I have been using Figma to plan and layout all the necessary pages. In the future, the flow and layout design of the website will be transferred over to Wix for easy hosting and management.
2023 - Present
MIXFLK, Part time App & Graphics Designer/Consultant
Since 2022, I have been assisting part time with the development and design of an newly emerging application called MIXFLK. The application is still in production, so I cannot go into depth about the systems and graphics design I have produced for the company.
While working on the app & graphics design of MIXFLK, I have also been used as a consultant for user experience and have conducted many tests and iterations throughout the applications development timeline.
2022 - Present

The ability to successfully apply knowledge of the technology sector by completing quizzes, interactive exercises and activities.
Meaningful interaction with industry professionals through live webinars.
A better understanding of the career pathways within technology.
