Who am I?
I am a former performing arts student, undergraduate audio student and aspiring games designer with a strong persuasion towards horror, particularly liminal space and psychological horror. I believe the absence of something can be just as impact as directly confronting the audience with something, and that is something I often try to improve on and show off in my work.
My prior experiences include live and recorded theatre, several practitioners of theatre (such as Stanislavski, Brecht, Theatre of Cruelty, Stunt work etc.), work with several DAWs (Protools, Reaper, LogicProX), Unity and Unreal Engine, middleware with Wwise and Fmod and video production in Sony Vegas and Davinci Resolve. I have spent 7 years in academia across several degrees and in my own personal time acquiring these skills.
I thoroughly enjoy the entire creative process when creating a project, stemming from my origins as a backstage helper on shows designing props and helping backstage crew during performances, and firmly believe every aspect and asset informs the players/audience’s perception.
I am based around East Cheshire, but I am more than capable of transport to Greater Manchester, Staffordshire and Derbyshire if needed for any in person work or conversations.
