Gaming Accessibility Person. she/her
Worked on ⚛️ Atomfall, 🔫 Sniper Elite and 🐉 Skye Tales.
Witch who crafts, making games with my partner in crime and owns an unhealthy amount of board games. Has a black cat called Toothless.
Last year was tough, but this year has brought new opportunities, the impending release of the game and team I’m most proud of, and recognition from people who know the challenges of game accessibility.

Thank you to everyone I’ve worked with. It says MVP, but this has never been a solo effort.

Moray Game Jam continuing to be the best game jam. Always have such a wonderful time making something fun and unexpected with some of my closest friends. 🖤

A wonderful friend offered to print me some of the braille joyride dice I designed (sorry they’re in black, I am a goth queen but it’s truly terrible for contrast 😂).

So happy with how they turned out!

I had a lovely surprise from @iggi-phd.bsky.social today! They sent me a ghost as a thank you gift for my keynote at the conference in September!

I LOVE HIM, he’s so perfect 😭🖤 probably a good thing I wasn’t there in person to receive him because I would’ve freaked out he’s so precious

I had to buy a new power brick for my Xbox because mine died. This is what Amazon prime recommended. Look at that font. (It looks like Algerian but it’s not quite). I’m terrified. This thing is going to set my house on fire.

In my mind Classiness of font == Quality of product 😂

Thrilled to get my hands on some 3D printed versions of my first blind accessible D6 prototypes, printed by @sightlesskombat.bsky.social ! Featuring a debossed side and embossed pips, one has braille in a letterbox style so you can feel orientation, and one has standard dice pips.

Pokémon mandala update.
I can’t express how obsessed I am with this! Lauren did an amazing job, super receptive to my feedback, so cool! If you want a cute Pokémon tattoo get your butt to Dundee 🎉

Joyride has just 60 hours to go on Kickstarter! It's a great little game, and I'm super happy with the work we've put in on High Contrast/Low Clutter versions of game components, enabling more players to enjoy the game!

I'm doing an accessibility panel at EGX this year with the amazing Little MoTAC, The Wobbly Gamer, and my colleagues Adriaan and Edd!

Excited for an awesome cast talking about advocacy and accessibility at Rebellion and beyond 🥳

My shortlist includes: Frosmoth and Snom, my favourites from the newer generations, Skitty, which has been my favourite Pokémon since I discovered it, and Sinistea, because spoopy tea is very on brand.

On an unrelated note, if anyone wants a challenge, try writing ALT text for Pokémon 😂

One of my local tattoo artists does Pokémon Mandala designs and I think I might get one. The question is, which Pokémon?
