ABOUT

I'm Jess Molloy, but I also respond to 'Yes' and 'Molly'.

I have a huge passion for accessibility and inclusive design in games.

Since January 2021, I've been working at Stellar Entertainment Software focusing on Game Design, Accessibility, and UX.

I have a MA with Distinction in Game Development (Design) and a BA(Hons) in 3D Games Art & Design.

Playing video games has always been my main hobby (some evidence in the pictures below). Growing up, some of my favourite games were Super Mario Sunshine, Billy Hatcher, and Donkey Konga. Now I play a bit of everything, but keep going back to Animal Crossing, Baldur's Gate, and The Witcher series.

One of the first games that affected my typical playstyle was Hitman: Blood Money. I replayed the game constantly, finding new ways of completing missions and finding easter eggs. Since then, I've loved replaying games to discover everything they have to offer.
