ABOUT SEBASTIAN

I tell messy, complex stories for messy, complex people.

​

I’m in my early thirties and I use they/them pronouns. I’m a game designer, writer, and editor.

​

Originally from the UK, I moved to Canada in 2012. I read English literature and French at Trinity College at the University of Toronto. After graduating with high distinction, I completed my Master of Journalism degree at Toronto Metropolitan University. My major research project was the equivalent of a graduate thesis and analyzed the mental health of independent contractors in Toronto.

​

As a game designer, I love mechanics that create tension. Common themes and motifs in my work are: doppelgangers, perfection, queerness, tentacles, and the emotion of shame.

​

I’ve worked in a diverse range of fields, including arts and entertainment, corporate communications, finance, journalism and media, not-for-profit, post-secondary education, social impact, and even a dairy factory in Switzerland once. Currently, I work full time as a publishing coordinator and community manager at Hit Point Press. I also write short stories and I’m a published poet.

 

My hobbies include reading, theatregoing, playing TTRPGs, fencing, and traveling. To keep up with me, subscribe to my Substack Newsletter!
