I'm Here to Help
​
From any stage in the process, from concept to development to testing and refinement, my mission in life is to be a small cog in one of your larger schemes, to push with all my heart knowing that it's going towards a greater whole.
​
I'm not here to tell you that I'm the best programmer or artist, but what I am is passionate, driven, and above all else thrilled to be working with you.
Who Am I Exactly?
My name is Matthew, and I'm a Narrative Designer, Concept Artist and Researcher looking to get into the Games Industry.
I have a special fascination with Ancient Cultures, Folklore, Mythology and generally anything to do with the way that people from across the world lived their lives, and what they thought went bump in the night.
Taking a Jack of All Trades approach to Games Design, with a wide net of skills from Level Design to UI and Artistic Direction, I'm always ready to learn more about my industry and any tools that are being used to get to the top of the food chain.
All of these skills are needed to properly retelling these myths in the way that they deserve to be told. From taking expeditions to Kentish Coasts to research Smugglers, to personally translating Bulgarian Folktales from their original language to English, there's nothing that will get in my way when it comes to me making the best version of a product possible.
Either for my own personal project or for your companies final product.

As mentioned above, I will move heaven and earth to help you make the best possible story you can.
