ABOUT
I'm Danny, a Game Designer based in Glasgow, Scotland.
In 2018 I graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with a First-class BSc (Hons) in Computer Games (Design).
Since then I've been producing my own work while pursuing a career in the larger industry.
I primarily work in Unreal which I've been using since 2016 and my work typically focuses on single-player first-person exploration.
