Projects
I've loved gaming since the first time I stole my sister's Play Station at the age of 11 and played Lara Croft for four hours in my room. Not much has changed, really, except now I have my own consoles - ha!
In my spare time, I've ran several research projects investigating different games (on different platforms) to show my skills, test them and learn more about Games UX Research. Here's my 4 favourite projects below.

Sea of Thieves: Testing the narrative
I conducted research on the action-adventure game, Sea of Thieves, developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Studios in 2018, to understand how the narrative story landed with players. Have a read through of the full project by clicking on the image.

The Sims 4 vs 3, 2 & 1
During the Covid lockdown in 2020, I conducted a survey with players to understand key pain points with The Sims 4 and how the game compares to previous versions of The Sims.
