Little about Me: I've been a freelance game/level designer since graduating from University in 2007. I've had the pleasure of being part of an award-winning HL2 Mod Dear Esther, and have designed and developed a number of other environments over the past few years. I love nothing more in life (apart from my family) than making great game worlds and experiences for people to enjoy; I love it with a passion!
