About
Audio director | UKI’m Jessica, a game developer of 14 years, and an Audio and Narrative specialist.
​
I’m passionate about creating immersive experiences and love to work on new, fresh, and diverse titles. Whether it’s world building and weaving a compelling story or pushing the boundaries of game audio.
​
I have a strong history in AAA games as well as running my own independent studio.
​
My studio Salix Games released our debut title Du Lac & Fey: Dance of Death in 2019 based on my original IP, I led the team from concept through development to QA and marketing. I managed a team of over 30, directed a voice cast of 25 world-class actors, and coordinated various outsourcing companies for services such as localisation, rigging, and bespoke audio recordings.
​
With audio I’ve worked alongside programmers and outsourcers to create and develop new pipeliness and systems from the ground up. I have designed countless in-game assets and been involved in the final mix of various projects. I also have a comprehensive background in interactive music systems and implementation within Wwise and various engines.
