Hi, I’m Bex

I’m a game designer and developer. I work across Unity and Unreal, creating everything from AI behaviour and gameplay systems to level design, 3D modelling, animation, and UI. I love the mix of logic and creativity that game development demands, and I’m at my happiest when solving something tricky. Those “aha!” moments are my favourite part of the job, usually arriving at inconvenient hours.

I grew up on a big farm, homeschooled and surrounded by siblings, which taught me to be scrappy, curious, and self-driven from an early age. I’ve always loved figuring things out on my own, experimenting, and learning through experience and I still approach challenges the same way today.

At heart, I’m drawn to projects that challenge me and let me make a real impact. My goal is to create experiences, especially games, that spark joy, curiosity, and excitement, the same way I feel when I get completely immersed in a story or challenge.

My Values

Learning

I’ve always believed in learning by doing. For me, not knowing how to do something isn’t a barrier, it’s an opportunity. Picking up new skills, even at a basic level, is empowering and gives me a stronger appreciation of the bigger picture.

Integrity

I was raised with the belief that who you are matters more than what you achieve. Honesty, reliability and accountability are values I carry into both my work and personal life.

Kindness

People are often dealing with things we don’t see. I try to meet others with respect and openness, because even small gestures of understanding make a difference.
