At Fateless Games, I lead an incredible team focused on building community-driven, story-rich gaming experiences. As Co-Founder, my role spans creative direction, strategy, and studio leadership — from shaping the long-term vision to guiding day-to-day development. I work closely with our team to ensure every project reflects our core values of quality, innovation, and player connection.

As the founder of HH Gaming, I oversee the creation and delivery of engaging content for the mobile games industry. Officially ranked as the fastest-growing online gaming brand in 2021 by SimilarWeb's Digital100, HH Gaming has achieved remarkable milestones under my leadership. Our website boasts over 150 million page views, a thriving community of 200,000 members, and a YouTube channel with 200,000 subscribers. In my role, I focus on strategic planning, content development, and community engagement, ensuring that HH Gaming continues to grow and innovate in the competitive gaming landscape. By fostering a creative and collaborative environment, I lead a talented team dedicated to delivering top-tier gaming experiences and maintaining our position as an industry leader.

At Squarebird, I led social media and marketing campaigns while working closely with the web design team to scope, plan, and deliver client projects. It was an environment that blended creativity and strategy, giving me the chance to work on a wide range of brands and digital campaigns. Squarebird remains a key partner today — the incredible team there continues to support my businesses at HH Gaming and Fateless with top-tier marketing and design work.

At Protechnic, I wore a lot of hats across design, marketing, and digital strategy. I built and managed all three of the company’s websites, developed their e-commerce presence, and ran social media and PPC campaigns that drove measurable results. I also designed UV print artwork for clients and helped plan and attend major tradeshows and events. That role gave me hands-on experience in how to build and grow a brand online — something that became the foundation for everything I’ve done since in digital marketing and business growth.

I worked with Drone Magazine to create monthly print features exploring how innovation was reshaping the world of consumer drones — from new protective casing materials to the design trends driving the industry forward. It was a great opportunity to merge storytelling with technology and connect with a passionate, fast-evolving community.

As Lead Graphic Designer at DotCom Leisure, I worked across both digital and print, leading the design and development of several key company websites and marketing campaigns. From maintaining and improving internal business sites to creating flyers, posters, and promotional videos, I was responsible for keeping the brand consistent and visually engaging. That role gave me a strong foundation in creative direction and the balance between design, functionality, and brand storytelling — skills that shaped everything I’ve done since in digital marketing and brand growth.

At Technical Aquatic Products, I worked across both design and production, helping create and deliver a range of aquatic products. I led the web development side of the business and was hands-on in designing, printing, and cutting product packaging and point-of-sale materials. It was an early role that gave me valuable experience blending creative design with practical, real-world production.

My role at AXA was to deal directly with financial advisers and action changes to client pension account.
