Game development for education, research and culture
I help universities, museums and edtech teams turn a research idea or learning goal into something people actually play - shaping what to build, not just building to spec.

I'm a game developer and educator based in London. I build games for universities, museums and edtech teams - the kind of work where the point isn't only that it's fun, but that it does something real: a study that runs, a concept that finally lands, a learner who gets it.
Alongside my freelance work, I spent a year in-house at Supersolid, keeping live mobile games stable for over a hundred thousand daily players - so I understand production and release, not just prototypes. I teach game design at the National Film and Television School, which means I can shape what to build and explain it clearly to non-technical stakeholders - not just write the code. The way I work is to find which mechanic, system or medium tells your particular story best - then build it.
