What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in game design, collaborate with creative teams, and contribute to innovative projects.

As I approach the final term of my HND in Games Design and Development, I am eager to secure an entry-level position in the games design industry. My aspiration is to create immersive and engaging gaming experiences that leverage my skills in game development, storytelling, and design. I believe that gaining real-life work experience will be invaluable as I continue my education and eventually pursue a degree in games design.

Throughout my studies, I have worked in the catering industry, where I developed strong customer service skills and the ability to thrive in high-pressure environments. My experience includes roles with large high street catering brands and within the NHS, where I learned the importance of teamwork and effective communication. I am proficient in various software packages, including Blender and Unreal Engine, and have completed projects in game development, interactive storytelling, and user experience design.
