A BIT ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Ben, a Narrative Designer, Level Designer and Cinematic Artist who has a love for creating detailed and immersive worlds. I graduated from Solent University with a degree in Game Design, where I found my obsession with storytelling and cinematic experiences.
​
From 2022 - 2023, I worked for a student-led indie studio called Luna Panda Studios, where I served as a Narrative Designer and Cinematic Artist for two published projects.
Since early 2024, I have volunteered as a Cinematic Artist and Level Designer at Burning Cinder Games, a new indie studio run by juniors and graduates. I am currently working on a title set to release this year.
​​
I love everything to do with video games; however, what strikes the core of my soul is being able to interact, roam and adventure throughout detailed worlds. No matter the genre, I am drawn to the vibrant worlds we make, and I am fascinated by the stories they tell. I aim to bring those feelings and fascinations to other players, and I look forward to introducing them with every opportunity I get.
​
I am devoted to unique storytelling and cinematic visuals, always aiming to create narratives that stick with the player after they have put the controller down.​​ I thrive in knowing that the stories and worlds I make have a lasting impact on those who experience them.​
