I am an illustrator/graphic designer/writer/game designer beginning a career in analogue tabletop roleplaying games, a very supportive indie industry & art movement.

I run a blog writing games & ttrpg cultural analysis, am waiting publication of a book i wrote & illustrated for a small indie RPG publisher, write and publish my own games from my home & studio space at Ludic Rooms in the canal basin, and am currently working toward building enough material to operate a stall at arts/crafts fairs introducing new audiences to games and play, as well as intending to run workshops and coalesce the midlands scene of designers who are otherwise only loosely connected online – long term I hope to build to a position where I can provide the kind of local organising this design movement needs & bring its lessons to other designers/communicators/artists and provide people with the tools they need to observe and design their own solutions in their communities through play and communication.

A key refrain in my work is the idea that “games model the social”, and even though I wear many hats I think of my practice as being about designing tools for people to imagine new possibilities and build their own tools to their own ends.
