ABOUT_ME

I’m Hollie, a First Class Honours Game Development graduate from the University of South Wales, graduated July 2026. I previously graduated in 2022 with Distinction in Computer Science & Cyber Security. Currently in the middle of my advance HE fellowship and teaching degree. I love building gameplay systems, weird mechanics, and experimenting with game feel.

Most of my projects start with: “what happens if I make this slightly unhinged?”
