Hi, I'm Nellie 

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, researching the design of games for museums. My academic background is in museum studies and world heritage, with a focus on Indigenous cultural heritage in Victoria. I've worked as an archaeologist, an artist, an educator, a game designer, and a researcher. 

​

I am also the director and co-founder of Melbourne Megagames, a not-for-profit games group that runs large scale roleplaying events. The community that has sprung up around megagames in Australia is very dear to me and I have a keen interest in improving accessibility and diversity in gaming spaces.

​

My interests include games of all kinds, arts and culture, sustainability, bouldering (and why everyone who boulders is also into games), circus arts, drawing, and cooking.
