About

Hi, I'm Ewan! I'm a freelance games programmer and designer. I have an exhaustive passion for all parts of the creative process - writing, designing, coding, and everything in between. I love crafting needlessly detailed, emotionally resonant and whimsical worlds that take advantage of the medium of games.

Through my freelance career I've worked on a variety of projects, including with:
  • Biome Collective
  • Tinderbox Project
  • Tend VR
  • College Fun Games
  • Abertay Univeristy

I've exhibited work at events all across the UK, including:
  • EGX 2022 (For Hexposure)
  • Gamebridge 2023 (For Hexposure)
  • Hidden Door Festival 2025 (Room to Play)
  • Pocket Game Connects 2026 (Less Miserables)
  • Dundee Waterfront (Whale Song Park)

I've organised and hosted social events for game developers across Scotland with GameDev Edinburgh, the SGDA and Hubworld Scotland, and I've helped tutor workshops for youth game designers in Edinburgh!

Previously, I studied at Abertay University from 2019 - 2023, at which I worked with Yellow Crow Games to create For Hexposure, which went on to win Gamebridge Best Team Project, be showcased at EGX 2022 and win multiple awards as part of Abertay's Dare Academy competition.
