I work across the full production chain: QA to indie publishing, certification to platform delivery. I help studios and publishers ship cleaner, and I handle the unglamorous stretch between a signed pitch and a finished game. No hiring round, no ramp-up: we start solving problems tomorrow, not two months from now.
QA at 34BigThings and Rebellion. Production back at 34BigThings. Publishing Production at Raw Fury. Most recently Producer at Untold Games on City 20. Now, Independent Producer, Co-founder of Scuola Nash and juror at Indie Arena Booth.
AAA down to one-person indie teams. QA, production, publishing. I have sat on every side of the table and it changes what you notice.
Project by project, on retainer, or as a focused audit. The engagement format adapts. You get the same work either way. Two distinct toolkits depending on which side of the deal you’re on.
Deciding what gets built this month and what waits. Schedules, documentation, and budgets, from pre-production all the way to gold master.
Clean releases on every platform you ship to. Certifications, stores, launch logistics, external QA, and localisation.
Built my publishing chops at Raw Fury. I share the network and an honest read on how to reach the players. I do not become your publisher.
Boxed editions are their own world. Distributors, replication, rating boards, all on different timelines. I’ve run that pipeline before, including Switch boxed and PS/Xbox discs.
A producer on your side of the table. Milestones, scope, risk and burn tracked across signed studios so surprises surface early, before Portfolio Review meetings.
Clean releases on every platform, run from the publisher’s side of the table. I know what a publisher needs from a launch: certification, stores, logistics, external QA and localisation kept on track across every studio you’ve signed.
Freelance scouting on the ground when your team can’t be present. Direct dev conversations, plus feedback on trends and projects worth watching.
I trained as a game designer, so I speak your designers’ language. A design read on signed and prospective titles, plus a press-style mock review of the current build: where the design holds, where it leaks players, and what reviewers will pick apart.
The things people ask me on a first call, answered upfront. If yours isn’t here, send it through. I’d rather we both know what we’re agreeing to.
It depends on the format. For audits and project-based work, the rate is €300/day. For retainers (minimum 3 months), the rate is €3,500/month, a better deal for both sides when the engagement is ongoing. All rates include VAT and any applicable taxes on my end.
These are my standard terms. If your situation is different, bring it up on the call. I'd rather find a format that works than lose a good project over a number.
Yes, if the project calls for it. For most first conversations, a verbal commitment to confidentiality is sufficient. Discretion is standard practice.
You do. Everything I produce (schedules, GDD reviews, pipelines, cert prep) stays with you. That's the point.
A two-hour paid consultation at €120 if you just need a sanity check on a specific decision. Below that, the discovery call itself is free: half an hour, no pitch.
Yes. Ten years in the industry built a network of trusted studios, porting houses, QA partners, audio teams, and loc vendors. I introduce, brief, and coordinate them as part of the engagement. No referral fees on either side.
Yes. The discovery call doesn’t care what stage you’re in. If pitch deck shaping or publisher demo prep is what you need, that’s its own service. If you genuinely can’t afford anything yet, I’ll point you at the right reading or the right people, no strings.
