Hey! I'm Rhys
I discovered audio design during Covid, while studying a music production course at university. I'd been writing & producing my own songs since 2012, even writing some music for London fashion week 2022! I've always loved games, so once a game audio module appeared for my final year at Uni, I jumped at the opportunity! I took to the module quickly after taking part in a few game jams over the summer with a team I met online, which helped me hit the ground running and transition to much larger year-long projects with a team of students I met through a friend studying in Falmouth.
My dad got me into trains when I was little, he was a trainspotter himself (Although he'd hidden that detail from me until I joined Dovetail!). I even had a 00-guage model railway that I remember buying a few trains for over the years; building the scenery out of Lego & using a science kit I had to add lighting to the houses.
I joined Dovetail shortly after graduating & the time's just flying by! I've made loads of friends & love working on all the cool projects we have. I'm a huge fan of detail, whether it be matching an in-game football stadium's schedule to match its real life counterpart or creating a system to add passenger ambience inside trains which has a built-in flu season. I'm all about detail!
In my free time, you'll find me playing games with my mates or working on a Minecraft city I've been building with a friend since 2013. Although I still like to write a song every now & then.
