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.
