I am a videogames writer, narrative designer and editor. I work both freelance and as Senior Writer at Possibility Space. I was selected by BAFTA as a 2017 Breakthrough Brit in the UK videogames industry. One of the jurors, Brenda Romero, described my work as 'inspirational'. In 2020, I won the Game Dev Hero award for Writing and Narrative Design.

I write character-driven stories that marry human relationships to fantastical environments. I work with clients to create narrative designs with strong story arcs and realistic NPCs. In my designs, I enjoy exploring uncomfortable choices mirroring those of real life; and the conflict between player and NPC agency.

I moved into the games industry from publishing, where I worked as a specialist sci-fi and fantasy line-editor. I have line-edited and proofread books by many well-known authors, including Terry Pratchett, Richard Morgan and Sarah Pinborough.
