Hi :) I'm Ari, a graduate specialising in production and project management for games. My degree is in Game Design and Production and it was awarded with 1st-class honours. My greatest strength is my ability to plan in a robust, adaptable and team-centred way, resulting in a product that is both feasible and creatively satisfying. I am developing my project management skills as a game producer, but my skills are transferable to any industry.
I'm also a competent programmer, graphic designer, music composer, app developer and generalist game designer. I've worked in many game engines and even tried making my own, so I can adapt to any software environment.
I am working on my own projects, like my space RPG Capital. I was shortlisted twice for President's Choice at the 2024 and 2025 Abertay Community Awards. I've been a student trustee, a community representative, a class representative, a Digital Creator and the chair of the societies council for Abertay Students' Association, and I've been a social media manager and an events coordinator for individual societies.
