I’m a lifelong game maker, artist, and storyteller. I’ve spent decades working across 2D, 3D, and game production, from AAA studios to small experimental prototypes. I care deeply about how things feel to play, not just how they look. Simple mechanics, tactile interaction, and systems that invite replay have always been my north star. One of my core projects is Poolhaven Town FC, a fictional football club set in a struggling 1970s working-class town. Poolhaven is part comic, part world-building exercise, and part playable simulation. It’s inspired by lower-league English football, muddy pitches, chipped paint, matchday programs, and the quiet heroism of players who never make the headlines. It’s about community, pressure, failure, and small moments that matter. Here I share behind-the-scenes development, world-building, experiments, design thoughts, and the messy middle of making things.
