Hi there! I'm Jamie, a 2024 graduate from Brunel University London (Game Design BA Hons).
Below are the main projects I've worked on. These are larger solo and team projects, mainly produced as student work.
For more of my work, check out my itch.io page, where I have a few smaller projects and prototypes.
- life updates
- website changes
- game devlogs
Project, continuously in development
This is a personal website I made to showcase my work and share updates about my life. It was built by hand using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and is hosted on Neocities.
It allows me to update friends, family and the world about my life and work, without the need for algorithmic-driven social media platforms, in order to encourage more intentional online connections.
The setup of the website has helped me to learn about web development, further my understanding of coding languages, and improve my visual design skills. It has also been a fun way to express myself creatively, and to share my interests and passions with others.
The website currently includes sections on:
- My Life Updates
- Projects I've worked on
- Website Changes
- My Faith
In developing the website, I've gain experience with:
- HTML and CSS for structuring and styling the layout
- JavaScript for adding interactivity and dynamic content
- Responsive design principles for ensuring the website looks good on all devices
- Usability and user experience (UX) design for creating an intuitive interface
