About Me
HI! I am a student at Ulster University studying for a Bachelor of Design with Honours in Games Design. I am highly interested in all aspects of game design and I tend to prioritise project management, pre-production and any QA testing involved! At the moment I am currently in Omagh, however I study in Belfast and also make occasional journeys to Londonderry, therefore I am able to work anywhere within 100 miles radius.
For me there was that exact Eureka moment that I knew that my future lay in the development of games. I knew that my mind wasn't exactly laid out for the hard core algorithms in the coding for the development of the games, but my mind has always been focused on the pre-production, idea generation, artistic and creative story development processes. I have always took a shine to the paperwork behind the entire process. I enjoy brainstorming, creating art, designing concepts or characters or really anything behind the scenes of the first original idea. Planning schedules, mood boards, backlogs and surveys in relation to the game project are extremely important and are really enjoyable to construct and organise. Working within a team and leading everyone in the right direction gives me a sense of accomplishment.
​
From being a good, creative and hardworking student I have already been working on some projects and developing them further outside of university. I started first year learning basic scripting and modelling and after playtesting/prototyping. In second year I lead a team of 5 as well as designed the level and art for a full VR vertical slice project. I chose all these roles as I work best when I am able to visualise concepts and make them a reality. At the moment I am again Project Lead and Level designer for another vertical slice, leading 5 Game Design students and 5 Animation students.
Amongst studies I have been actively working and maintaining a healthy balance between my part time jobs and own hobbies. I currently work for Hypixel Studios as an assistant to the CEO. My goal for this year is to succeed in my university course as well as my placement internship with Hypixel Studios. I would enjoy to keep pushing myself in my spare time to accomplish more personal projects. After placement and my following final year of university I would love to potentially extend my internship into a full time contract or else explore more job opportunities within the production or personal assistant paths.
