Projects

Software first. Craft throughout.

The products I’m building, the studio behind them and the 3D work that runs alongside, all explained here, so you don’t need to go anywhere else to understand them.

Mimir

A desktop application for building fictional worlds. Characters, places, cultures, histories and relationships become one connected world you can see, question and check, stored in plain Markdown files that remain yours.

Studio · Founded 2020

Shieldwall Games

The independent, self-funded studio I founded in Kent to build the creative tools and games I needed and couldn’t find. I lead product, brand and web, recruited and ran a development team using Agile/Scrum, and work hands-on across the pipeline.

Ashborn CCG

Collectible card game · Shieldwall Games

A historically grounded Viking Age card game. I developed the brand identity, game design, warband system, card templating and coming-soon page. The world is being built inside Mimir.

Ashborn is in active development. This portfolio shows its brand and design work, not gameplay from an unreleased game.

3D artwork

Standalone renders, turntables and material studies.

Artwork is shown on its own, separate from any game. Open the artwork gallery.

Interim study: a white spacecraft with red trim and swept fins. Interim study: a full-length elf character in a layered linen tunic. Interim study: close-up of a rune stone carved with an interlaced tree.

Need an application, a website, or both?

I design and build web and desktop software as well as websites.
