A bit about me
Hi! I’m Ross, a game designer and developer from Co. Wicklow, Ireland, now based in Port Moody, BC. I came to games through cognitive science and computer science, so I’m always thinking about how players learn and what makes a decision feel good to make.
I’ve designed a daily word game with Simply Sweet Games and helped build an interactive exhibit for the Canadian Video Game Museum. Now I’m looking for a game design role where I can keep building systems players want to come back to.
Outside of games, I play five instruments (with varying degrees of success) and spend as much time outdoors with my partner as the BC weather allows.
