Building worlds,
solving problems

Game developer, researcher, and design leader from Durban, South Africa.

I'm a game developer from Durban, South Africa, currently completing a BA Honours in Design Leadership at Vega School. My work sits at the intersection of technical development and creative design - from building games in Unity and Unreal Engine to researching how VR can transform how programming is taught.

Beyond development, I bring experience as a competitive esports coach and academic tutor, which has sharpened my communication, leadership, and analytical thinking. I thrive in collaborative, fast-moving environments where creative problem-solving matters.
