About Me

About

Hi, I'm Cat! I am a technical game designer who has graduated from a Games Technology BSc (Hons) degree! 

Previously, I was a Grads in Games Ambassador - helping provide career resources to my university. I also helped run a games support society for my university!

Currently I am a volunteer for Cats Protection Guildford and Godalming Branch, as a website editor. 

I love animals!

Baldurs Gate III

Stardew Valley

Animal Jam

Minecraft
