Interests and other skills

·         Games – Strive to stay on top of the events in the industry and current market trends in design and delivery. Games are an integral part of my lifestyle, both in terms of recreation and creativity. A fan of shooters and RPGs and all games that create a sense of deep investment or attainability of skill over time. Plenty of favourite games.

·         Edge Magazine – A keen advocate for printed games media as the culture of reporting is not one of clickbait and sensationalism. Every month the informative articles and interviews with industry persons both entertains and educates, whist allowing for an understanding of industry issues from different perspectives.

·         Drums – Keen musician with the band GHSTPRTY for two years. Drummer since the age of sixteen. Enjoy the creativity and freedom the drums provide. Requires perseverance and dexterity. Always learning.

·         Sci-Fi – Enjoy any story that unfolds in a sci-fi setting. Huge fan of Blade Runner and Alien. Grounded stories that ask interesting new questions are my favourite movies and books.
