A student at SAE Institute Brisbane, I am currently undertaking my bachelor's degree in Game Design. Since the age of Three, I have been a passionate player of games of all types; Board games, Card games and Video games especially. It is now my intent to give back to the gaming community, after all the excitement, learning and fun it has given me over the years.

I am also a full time carer for my beautiful partner; a C5 quadriplegic; and just recently we have gotten engaged. Without her encouragement and support I would have been unlikely to leave the workforce to pursue my dreams of making games.

And as of September the 1st, 2014, My partner and I become Parents to a beautiful baby girl, a fun and exciting learning endeavour in its own right. She inspires me to be a better person and a worthy role-model.

This is a "Pong" Clone that I created day one of my second Trimester at SAE Brisbane. This project took me less than 12 hours to make and was pretty fun to both play and make. You can play it here for free.

Super Alarm Boys (Game-Jam) was the first project that I created as part of a team. We built this over the space of 5 days for a local Game-Jam that was being held over the break between trimesters. I learnt an incredible amount over that time and built up a good working relationship with each of the other team members involved. I am excitedly awaiting the next "Make-A-Thing" game-jam as it was an experience not to be missed.

My last completed project was a "Katamari Damacy" Clone, which I had a tremendous amount of fun making, and had just as much while play-testing. There is just something immensely satisfying about physics based games, and the interactions you can achieve in them.
