Role: Technical Designer (Remote)

​​​

After the Reflections layoffs I joined Companion Group, a fully remote studio, mid-way through the ten-month development of Storm Lancers. Arriving five months in, I took ownership of the enemy NPC cast and raised its quality for ship.

​

After Storm Lancers shipped, I moved across three further projects: several months of Technical Design contract work for a US studio, and an internal prototype for a well-known IP being pitched to the licence holder. My role was eventually made redundant in mid-2026.
