Philip Duff, 25, Northern Ireland
Based in Dundee, Scotland
Hi! I'm a Game Developer from Northern Ireland having most recently worked as designer for Puny Astronaut on their debut title Skye. A graduate from Abertay in July 2017, I have gained experience through both university and working in a professional environment; bringing my attention to detail and organisational skills to projects I have been involved in. This has involved work in different sized multidisciplinary teams in a varying range of situations including presentation and team coordination.
I was a UK finalist at the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2016, representing my 3rd Year professional project student team with our Microplastics game 'Namaka; a game which was also exhibited to delegates at DiGRA-FDG 2016. The team then went on to compete in the 2016 Dare to be Digital competition with the game Glaze.

I reached the UK finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup competition in the World Citizenship category with a game focused at raising public awareness of the issue of microplastics. The game was undertaken as part of a 3rd year student project and was successful making it through several rounds of judging to reach the finals where myself and several other team members travelled to Microsoft's UK headquarters in Reading to pitch to industry professionals and attend advice and feedback sessions.
