Fun-fuelled Fun Finder
An upbeat and friendly designer who has played and loved games from childhood and was inspired to follow the field more closely through level creation tools and artistic drive.
With strong sense of community building and support, I have worked to help others express their design talent and worked on my own skills regarding all aspects of game creation to better understand how to communicate and apply those aspects to my own design focused work.
​
With nearing 5 years of experience in Virtual Reality Game Development and 10 years in games overall, I consider myself experienced and storied with much to bring to any studio or team I join going forward.
Chloe graduated from Teesside University in 2013 with a 2:1 in Games Design before starting her own studio with her friends and partner in 2014. Hexdragonal released Arclight Cascade in 2015 before she moved to freelance design work.
After this time as an independent developer she worked at Coatsink on Shadow Point and Jurassic World: Aftermath before moving to Pixel Toys to work on Warhammer 40K: Battle Sister.
After leaving Pixel Toys, Chloe joined Double Eleven as a Senior, then rose rapidly to an Associate Lead Designer role over her four years at the studio. She contributed heavily to Prison Architect 2 as a Designer and People Manager before working briefly with team members on select Fallout 76 patch updates.
No matter where she is, she will always look to encourage the best of others. She can break down her design knowledge and experience so that it can be shared with other designers and find the best way to clearly explain concepts to coworkers in other disciplines.

CONTRACT LEVEL DESIGNER
Ruce, Babel: Tower to the Gods
I worked with Ruce to create levels for their VR project, Babel: Tower to the Gods.

GAME DESIGNER

I was responsible for design & implementation of several core mechanics & have contributed to level and puzzle design for every in game level in Shadow Point. I worked primarily in multi-disciplinary teams and used the best of my knowledge to ensure we built Shadow Point with a unified vision across those specialisations while meeting our design goals.

I was also a part of the early work on prototyping mechancis and establishing documentation for Jurrasic World: Aftermath, the studio's upcoming VR Steath Action title set in the Jurrasic World film franchise.

EXPERIENCED DESIGNER
Pixel Toys
I was a part of the team working on Warhammer 40K: Battle Sister, a VR FPS project in development for room scale VR to release on Oculus Quest. My contributions were spread across elements across the game with leadership over one of the late game levels.
I worked directly with an artist to help develop the spaces, combat scenarios and atmosphere of this level and implemented mechanics, features and constructed encounters for several other spaces across the game.
I regularly brought forward my established knowledge of best practices in VR to both designers and programmers and helped communicate these ideas throughout the team to bring the best VR experience possible forward in the time we had.
Warhammer 40K: Battle Sister is due to release this holiday for Oculus Quest.
November 2020 - November 2023
ACTING LEAD GAME DESIGNER
Double Eleven Ltd
I joined as a Senior Designer on Prison Architect 2 before swiftly rising up to Acting Lead.
My responsibilities on this project were initially practical and focused on re-coordination of documentation and working out where we could adjust parts of the work. I then sought better engine access for the design team which had been largely not using Editor tools at all, meaning design iteration time was slow.
Pushing for this change and finding success had me lifted to Acting Lead Designer on the project and I began doing more people management and project coordination work with other departments to ensure general collaboration and better team dynamics.
As we wrapped the project up for handover, I was on hand and cited as being especially helpful to the oncoming team for getting them the insight they needed to be as successful as possible.
November 2023 - November 2024
ASSOC. LEAD GAME DESIGNER
Double Eleven Ltd
As the handover period for PA2 wrapped up, I was pushed up to Associate Lead Game Designer on Prison Architect 2 as well as starting my role as Associate Lead alongside the Lead Designer on Fallout 76's patch efforts within Double Eleven. My primary focus on this project was facilitating support for the standing Lead Designer and helping re-coordinate the team at large to try and get them into a better collaborative space as a design heavy team.
