ABOUT

Hi, I’m Josh. I’ve been a Game Designer since 2021.

I’m passionate about player experience, immersion and making games that are so fun they feel like a toy you can’t put down. I love being deep in an engine, prototyping ideas, making content, experimenting with systems and learning through doing.

I thrive on collaboration and creative problem solving, sharing knowledge and working together to make cool stuff. Alongside my professional experience in live-service, narrative and mobile games, I’m constantly building my own projects, mentoring others and looking for new things to learn.
