Hello there! I'm a game designer currently working on Rainbow Six Siege.
These days, I mainly work on designing new operator gameplay, including for ops like Ram, Deimos, Skopos, and Rauora (with more to come).
I also love spreading awareness about the art of game design!

I know some of you are curious given the announcement. Sorry to say I won't be answering questions. You'll get all the scoop at the reveal.
Thanks for the kind words, and sorry if I'm radio silent for a bit. For personal reasons, I'm not really in the mood to talk today.

At the start of the year I sketched a letter for a dear friend and was honestly quite pleased with the results. Now that he's finally received it, I share it with all of you, along with my best wishes for a happy and safe 2026.

As an adult I've realised that while I'm a good listener, I suck at asking questions, and that's largely because as a kid I got used to more talkative people readily volunteering information to me.
It's a muscle I never properly developed, and that's what makes small talk hard.

Selling our old wardrobe and I gotta know, with a bit of editing would this give off indie album cover vibes?

Set up my new desk last night. Still need to do the cable management, get a new monitor so I can mount both screens on the arms I bought, and most importantly get the Internet set up in this place, but soon, I will have a proper computer setup at long last...

I played my first match of the season a couple days ago and in my very first round I clutched a 1v3 as Thatcher with the PMR.
Not gonna lie, I was very pleased with myself.

@gamespot.com was at the studio a while back and even attended a playsession I ran. Their video did a great job showcasing all the wonderful people I have the privilege of working with and showcasing just some of what makes Siege great.

It's no question that Siege has had a huge impact on my life since I joined the team five years ago. Getting to be part of a game and a community like this is something I've dreamed of since high school.
I owe all of you my deepest gratitude. Looking forward to so much more!

Thanks again to everyone who sent kind words to my family and I. It means a lot to me!
Between the new map and op (condo and child) I'll be pretty busy in the coming year, but don't worry, I'm not going anywhere just yet. You'll be seeing a new operator of mine in Siege soon.

I got a first glimpse of my newest operator in the earliest stages of production...
Really excited for this one! 😁

The scariest part of buying a new home is the when all your savings suddenly get liquidated and emptied out in one fell swoop.
Really looking forward to the part where that converts into having a lovely new place to live. This limbo state is killing me.

There's something funny about consistently arriving at my hotel just in time for them to start serving breakfast. A handy little meal before bed.
In this instance, I'm actually kinda glad my sleep cycle is so inherently borked.

Just got back to the hotel after an amazing Major. I'm still in Munich for a couple days, so I'll have time to contemplate all the great conversations I had with all of you, but to say a few quick parting words... [1/3]

Fun fact, there's more in the new season than what was announced today. Keep an eye out and you might notice some other neat stuff. 😉
