Osprey Games
As of August 2023 I've been in a full time Game Developer role for the esteemed Osprey Games!
​
Game dev at Osprey brings with it the privilege of working with some of the very finest designers, illustrators, and artists working in hobby board games today to produce some seriously awesome titles.
Current-
Osprey Games is an imprint of Osprey and Bloomsbury Publishing, as its the board game publishing division.
Osprey has always been closely linked to the wargaming hobby community, with its books being widely used as guides for painting miniatures and designing scenarios. In 2015, Osprey moved into another new phase of its life with the establishment of Osprey Games. Board and card games were added alongside the established wargaming lines and Osprey Games embarked on a range of games in different formats and packages. Whilst historical games remain a proud feature of the list (Undaunted, Imperium, Crescent Moon), it has grown to encompass a wide variety of themes, including science fiction and fantasy, gardening, railways, and much more besides!
Past Roles
I've worked in a few different places doing different roles, from full time board game dev, to marketing, to systems design.
Full time employee, consulting, providing cover-leave- it's a medley!
