Build Interactive Art with me!

Video Games are a powerful device powered by computer graphics.

It’s a way to simulate experiences you could never have in reality, hear the stories of artists or to enjoy a virtual world in suspended disbelief.

I’ve been developing Unreal Engine for 6 years.

My career thus far has had me working for professional studios, inspiring kick-starter funded projects & for myself on what I hope will some-day be a collection of games sharing the same IP.

In 2022 I worked for over 20 projects & sold my first demo of a trading card game – to an NFT company.

Want to launch a game but don't have alot of time?

Enquire about my demos! 
I have prepared a handful of games from popular genres. 

Select one of the genres and have me replace the graphics with your character, NFT, or brand. 

I’ve done it before and I can do it again for your organization.
Game development takes too long! Rather than starting from scratch, why not get a headstart with my games as a foundation.
