About Me
Hey there! I'm Lachlan (Tutti), a game designer with half a decade of industry experience and design credits on 6+ shipped titles. I've been creating interactive experiences for as long as I can remember and have a passion for crafting clever and unexpected moments that sit with players long after they've finished playing.
I'm a skilled communicator and pride myself on being able to rapidly ideate, prototype and see an idea through from concept to completion.
Outside of games I enjoy going to gigs, maintaining my house plants and hanging with my cat, Honey! If you want to get in touch please reach out via the contact links provided.
