About
Narrative Designer, Games Writer & Storyteller
I’m Cole, a Narrative Designer and Games Writer with 5+ years of AAA and indie game development experience. My shipped credits include Sniper Elite 5: Kraken Awakes and The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, alongside additional AAA and independent projects.
My background began in game and level design before developing further into narrative design, giving me a strong understanding of how story, gameplay, player choice and level design work together. My experience spans dialogue writing, branching narrative, worldbuilding, environmental storytelling, cinematics and in-engine implementation.
I currently lead the creative and narrative development of an original 3D puzzle-horror game at Quiet Room Studios, developing its story, characters, dialogue, worldbuilding and narrative-driven gameplay in Unreal Engine 5.
I hold an MA in Games Enterprise from the University of South Wales and completed ELVTR’s Video Game Writing course, where I was selected as a top-performing student and received an instructor recommendation.
