About me

With a background in teaching English culture, and in artistic languages and digital media, I am currently developing a 2D narrative video game inspired by supernatural short stories written by late-Victorian women (who emigrated from Ireland to London) featuring female ghosts as protagonists, as part of a comparative study between literature and video games focused on the representation of gendered cultural identity.
