Let’s work together

I work with teams on existing stories or collaborating from the outset to create a new story. In this phase, I review the project scope, consolidate existing material and undertake further research if required. I create storyboards, mood boards, character profiles, environment briefs, background lore, user experience journeys and incorporate writing structures.

Artefacts: World building documentation, character profiles, narrative structures, storyboards, mood boards, playlists

Software: Figma, Excel, Twine

I design overall story frameworks using storyboards and branching diagrams to map story beats, emotional arcs, plot lines and user interactions. These frameworks are then detailed with writing for narration, character dialogue, NPCs and barks (supplied as ready to use file formats). I also enjoy creating in-world material and text to support world building such as onboarding, tutorials, UI, and 2D/3D objects.

Artefacts: Scripts, dialogue, barks, onboarding, tutorials

Software: Ink, Twine, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Excel

I incorporate user experience across the narrative design process. From research, identifying user personas and journeys to rapid prototyping, user testing and iteration. An optimal user experience can support and enhance a great story and characters.

Artefacts: Mockups, wireframes, user journeys, user flow, rapid prototyping (paper, cardboard, spatial, role play)

Software: Figma, Axure, Adobe XD

I have extensive experience in creating content for pitches, design documents, websites, social media, and marketing material. This experience has been gained from working within a variety of industries including government, telecommunications, banking, digital marketing, international aid and development.
