I developed a small parcel delivery simulator as part of a 4-person team.
I 3D modelled, textured, rigged and animated various character and environment props. As the Narrative Designer, I generated the game’s layout, UI, 11 character barks and supporting text, including the game’s description and logo.
For Carton Courier, I created 3 buildings, 2 robots to receive deliveries, 1 claw for grabbing parcels, the parcels, 2 bins, a traffic cone, and 3 varieties of road.
For Graviture, in 48 hours I modelled and textured all 3D art, maintaining the requested art style.
Abstraction is my first solo game jam project in UE5. This miniature project was developed for the Imaginary Card Jam, where the goal was to create a card for an imaginary trading card game.
I created an animated 3D card where the components move independently of each other. My objective was to develop my skills in every stage of production and expand my knowledge of blueprints and scripting in UE5.

I’ve collaborated with Joseph on the culture/linguistics aspects of Guild66 and it’s a project that I’m so excited about. Joseph has created such a strong, immersive creative world and has considered so many aspects of gameplay from a complete beginner perspective to make this as welcoming and inviting to new people as possible, which is something that’s missed by so many TTRPG creators, and so I’m confident that this will be such a fantastic entry into roleplaying games for so many new players. I was also lucky enough to be present for one of the beta testing campaigns (four sessions) and seeing it in person, where he led us through the campaign, really brought it to life. What Joseph truly understands is that this isn’t just about fiction writing or about creating battlegrounds with monsters: it’s about bringing people together. He asks questions. He listens. And people thrive because of it!

I had the pleasure of working with Joseph during the Summer Set Radio game jam project, and it was a great experience. Professional, easy to work with, and clear about the project's direction, while still allowing plenty of creative freedom. That balance made the whole process smooth, inspiring, and genuinely enjoyable.

Such an understanding and thoughtful person! Truly a great experience to work with. 10/10! Fun, creative, polite, and easy to work with, creative, responsive, thoughtful, fantastic communication skills, and open to critique. Looking forward to working with them again!

As someone with limited experience of TTRPGs, I really enjoyed playing Guid66. The world was really fun and interesting and I loved meeting and seeing the weird and wonderful creatures along the way.
The world was definitely very immersive and reading through the players guide it was easy to tell that a lot of thought and energy had gone into it. I particularly enjoyed being a part of the School of Boar and wielding my mighty hammer!
There was a good level of creative freedom in the game that allowed us to make it what we wanted without becoming lost in the world. Overall it was great to play and I would love to play it again!

Very proactive and friendly! Also very easy to work with! I had no issues with organization or overscoping during our project together thanks to Joseph’s efforts as a producer. Furthermore, they were effective in communicating their ideas and open to feedback from the rest of the team as well. Honestly an amazing team member!

Leadership
My leadership journey—spanning various media production roles and leading multicultural teams—has taught me to work cross-departmentally, adapt to different perspectives, prioritise people over data, and unify teams toward a shared vision.
Working across China, Thailand and the UK, and with studios from America, Chile and Portugal, I’ve learnt to identify creative strengths and areas of challenge. Through clear communication, Agile frameworks, and a little empathy, I transform creative tension into momentum.
I’m always reflecting, iterating, and seeking feedback because leadership isn’t static—it’s about growing alongside your team to deliver work that matters.
