In 2021 I began working at Poly Fruit Studios LTD. I was a game designer in charge of creating concepts for hypercasual mobile games and rapid prototyping and development. I had weekly meetings with my supervisor to update on progress of the current prototype, talk about issues I had ran into and set some new tasks for the week, as well as daily meeting with my team to create and delegate tasks. Being in this enviroment gave me a good introduction to working in the industry and I am excited to see where my experience and skills can take me.

During my final year of university I was a lead designer in the collaborative games development module. The role included the duties of coordinating communications between different teams such as art and tech. I was also heavily involved in Facilitating meetings for the team leads and delegating tasks for the junior designers to do, alongside giving them feedback and guidance.
