Lead Creative, Designer, Narrative Designer (Writer), Pixel Artist, UX Design - Indie Projects - Liverpool

I started doing QA testing for various projects outside of work and this expanded into learning multiple skills and disciplines. My main work is with Roland Moritz, an Austrian developer who needed feedback on his game. My feedback developed into him asking me to write the narrative.
Due to our limitations I taught myself pixel art in order to take work load off of him. We took on an Audio artist in the form of a friend who creates popular synthwave music. As time progressed I used my Graphic design knowledge to create mock-ups and wireframes for our Game, and Website UX.
I have come to act as a producer and we have flourished into an international team of twelve volunteers and freelancers. We have received funding from a Swiss IT company and are launching our main title in Autumn 2023.

Throughout my final year at University I took on multiple Graphic Design projects for local businesses.
- Assisting with new designs and updating current designs in order to continue brand identity during business growth
- My most recent project involved working as a Graphic Designer for Brewers Barn, a Suffolk based home brew shop where the owner was looking to offer a new product (Brewers Box). This required a new logo that expanded the brand whilst staying true to the brand identity
- I then offered my services as a Creative Consultant throughout the launch of their latest project, the Brewers Bar
- This work carried me through to working on the London Craft Beer Festival, where I have designed stationary for multiple micro breweries. Again consulting client-side was the most important aspect of this
