about Me

I love making games, and I do admit that sounds generic, but I genuinely love making games – especially when I know that it could bring someone joy!

I got into making games purely by chance, an elective in my undergrad studies that hooked my imagination. It opened a new avenue for storytelling – every alternate choice, reality and path that players took with the character. During that time, I learnt a lot about linear and non-linear storytelling, and put my findings to work by making little games at game jams.
The more I made games, the more I challenged myself with mechanics, text, levels, and audio, always finding a way to delight players. Every design choice I make is intentional, keeping in mind an audience, or existing community!

Apart from work and game jams, you’re likely to find me at an archery range, food festivals, orchestras & operas, or at home, playing a board game, or learning a new piano piece! 

Games I’ve been playing recently

Tales of the Shire : Who doesn’t enjoy a nice cozy game? I’m enjoying my little hobbit hole, planning dinner parties and my garden.
Things could improve, and I’m looking forward to future updates! 
Speaking of improvements, I’ll be writing a blog on some of the design areas that I would have expanded to make for more interesting personalities, situations and dialogue. Keep an eye out.

Baldur’s Gate 3 : A yes, the Divinity Engine once more brings us chaos, mayhem and more shenanigans. Just like with the chaos in D&D, you’ll find every action has a consequence, even it is you throwing a fish at a bear, killing it and thereby starting the meltdown in the Enclave. Oops. How were we supposed to know bears didn’t like getting hit in the face by fish??

My all time favourite game

Claw : A side-scrolling platform game from the 90s that my cousin discovered and shared with me as kids. 
A game I’ve spent countless hours on, and appreciate today, in terms of narrative, level and game design!

caught on camera

I was a panelist at BAFTA x Into Film’s Career Insights event, alongside many other veterans from the screen industries, including costume, casting, acting, VFX, line-producing, and directing.

Here’s a link to the original LinkedIn post.

Thanks to support from the British Film Institute (BFI), awarding NationalLottery good cause funding, we inspired the next generation of young creatives and look forward to continuing to make screen careers information more accessible👏🎬

Just a year after I joined the industry, I had the chance to talk at Games Talks Live, all the way up in Scotland. It was quite the experience, and certainly daunting as I got to speak to a group of individuals who were veterans from the games industry themselves!

As I started writing my talk, I thought, ‘What do I tell these people that they don’t already know?!’
The answer came to me eventually, and I spoke about ‘Things I wish I knew before I got started in the industry’
