NARRATIVE DESIGNER
WRITER
VOICE ACTOR
Hi, I’m Varia — a London-based writer and narrative designer with a background in theatre, film, and games.
I create rich worlds, flawed characters, and stories that linger long after the screen goes dark.
Need a snarky quest-giver? A villain with feelings? An emotional gut-punch in Act 3? Call me a fantasy fiend, a loot goblin, and the right person for the job.
You can find my most recent work below. My CV is available for download here, and if you’d like to see more, some writing samples can be found here.​
