OFFERING EXPERTISE IN GAME AND NARRATIVE DESIGN
all about t-dog
I’m T-Dog, and I’m an award-winning Game and Narrative Designer with an array of experience spanning across a range of projects with a wide range of teams!
Whether it’s smaller tight-knit teams with lots of time but limited scope, or bigger teams with not a lot of time but a lot of opportunity to flex some creative skills, I’m comfortable with it all. If you’re kind and work together well, I’m in!
I’m currently working on my own government-funded project but have capacity to take on other projects either locally in Melbourne, Australia, or remotely regardless of time zone!
