I'm Freya Campbell, a game developer with a focus on creating and writing narrative-driven games, as well as a fiction writer and general creative tech dabbler. Currently I work for Supermassive Games as a Game Designer. In the past I have also run a Virtual Reality theatre & pop-up screenings, taught VR exhibition best practice, been a recording engineer - for which I have a First Class BA(Hons) from Brighton Uni - a performing musician, and a whole host of other roles.
My games work often features science fiction, horror, and romance, as well as a focus on LGBTQ characters. I count sustainability, the outdoors, and low-tech solutions to the future amongst my influences. Nurturing a healthy distrust of the latest technology, I have a love-hate relationship with computers that makes me good at QA and intuiting problems. I am an advocate for a simpler, leaner internet, as you may be able to tell by this website. I like cooking, growing plants, and bleak places outdoors.
As a generalist in videogames and creative tech at large, I draw on a broad background in numerous blue/white/pink/red/no-collar jobs at unexpected times; I am frequently the team member with duct tape, screwdrivers, cough sweets and a spare USB cable. I have experience in research, venue & team management, logistical and operational planning, and thinking on the fly to solve problems that happen hours or minutes before deadlines, such as technology failure, furniture collapse, or human error. I enjoy solving problems but enjoy predicting them in advance even more.
