Ollie Smith

Howdy. My name's Ollie, a game designer with professional experience for and a passion for storytelling.

Since graduating from Staffordshire University, I've honed my skills at an independent game development company, working on a diverse range of projects. From small indie games to large-scale AAA titles, I've been responsible for narrative decisions and artistic direction. I've even pitched innovative game ideas for projects that are yet to be announced.

My passion lies in creating games with strong narratives, player-driven choices, and exciting, well-balanced mechanics. I enjoy working both solo on prototypes and as part of larger teams. My love for games extends beyond video games to tabletop games, whether it's quick pickup-and-play sessions with friends or running a 3+ year homebrew D&D campaign.

Games are a big part of my life, whether I'm designing complex storylines, playing Robin Hood with my nieces and nephews in Sherwood Forest, or even the unbeatable classic that is Fetch with our dog. All of those games bring joy and connection - and that's what I strive to create.
