I am a writer, researcher and curator currently based in Glasgow. My academic background includes art history, museum studies and creative writing but I also enjoy experimenting with small game tools in my spare time. I am interested in science fiction, overlooked elements of the history and artistic practice behind videogames, and developing more experimental approaches to writing and criticism.
