Hi I'm Matt - a Freelance Game Designer, Illustrator and Artworker based in Preston, UK.

I specialize in 2D Character Design, Animation, Level Design, Game Mechanics, UI Design and QA Testing with a Master's Degree in Game Design from the University of Central Lancashire.

Growing up in the 90's, endlessly playing video games from Super Mario Bros to DOOM, Earthworm Jim to GoldenEye - I fell in love with character design and animation, level structure and game mechanics, and I always knew these fundamentals would define my working career.

Creating colourful, hand-drawn characters in fun, unique worlds is my passion. I’ve drawn, doodled and designed, ever since I was a kid. From cereal boxes to scrap paper, you’d find me drawing on anything I could get my hands on.

As a game designer, I aim for fun, engaging and polished gameplay experiences - level design immersion, combining solid mechanics, flow and pacing is how I refine the structure and immersion throughout development.

My freelance background spans a decade of design, illustrations and animations, I thrive in creative challenges and I’m always eager to take on new experiences and learn new skills.

As of early 2026 I've just completed work on my biggest project yet - Kingdom Climb - and I'm now looking for new work opportunities.
