Personal profile
I am currently a Lecturer in Games Production with a particular interest in applied games. I currently deliver teaching on modules in quality assurance, interaction design, and awareness of the creative industries. I also supervise and mentor many applied game-based projects including Boccia Champions, which was awarded a Bronze Award at the Serious Play Conference 2019.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Game Design and Production Management at Abertay University. Following that, I achieved my PhD in applied game design from Glasgow Caledonian University.
More information about my work and experience can be found on my website.
