Hi, I’m Holly! I am a Designer specialising in Illustration and Game Design. My work showcases Character Design, World Building and Concept art. I enjoy experimenting with different illustration styles and creative processes.

Before Your Eyes

Before Your Eyes is a narrative-driven video game. Set in an alien city, players must navigate a divided community between the water and the land aliens. The ending the player receives depends on their actions, and the small changes that have been happening before their eyes.

As the game progresses, the playable character can evolve from a frog into a lizard or a newt. This depends on where the player has been exploring and the NPC’s they decided to interact with.

Main Character: Alien Frog

Find Your Flock

Struggling with wellbeing in the winter is common amongst university students, and our garden birds suffer from it too. Find Your Flock is a campaign that aims to get students to start feeding birds from their windows, to help improve their wellbeing at a time seasonal affective disorder hits, while also keeping birds warm and full of energy in the coldest months.

Students can take the Find Your Flock quiz, which tells them which bird they might be most like, based on their personality.

The web app also gives the users the ability to keep a diary for their wellbeing and track birds they have seen on campus.

Inky

Inky is a mobile puzzle game, based on one of the most intelligent creatures in the sea: the octopus! Inky’s story is based on a real octopus who made a great escape from a New Zealand aquarium in 2016. Players must help Inky navigate his life in the sea, solving problems based on activities a real octopus could do!
