I'm a passionate games developer currently living in Osaka, Japan. I first began making games aged 8 using my fathers Amiga 600 and haven't stopped since.
I have constantly pursued video games as a career, enjoying the unique challenge game design offers over other mediums. I have worked freelance as a games artist as well as in-house for studios as a designer during which time I have gained a large amount of experience.
In my spare time I like to design games for fun and explore unusual game input methods. I also like to relax by walking, reading and doing yoga.
