 After studying game development, I spent a decade working with young people—teaching them how to create games and contributing to other projects. Now, I’m ready to bring my own ideas to life through Sakura Studios. I still want to inspire the next generation and stay tied to education, but my dream has always been to craft and release games that stand out. I miss the golden age of gaming when you bought a game for a fair price with no strings attached. That’s what I’m here to deliver: immersive experiences without endless spend to enjoy. With a love for horror, I’m here to build creepy, unforgettable escapes that grip you from start to finish.

For over a decade, I’ve worked as a freelancer, collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including:  

• Impact Gamers  
• Twitch  
• Epic Games  
• Multiple colleges across the UK
• Northern Rail
