About

Hi!

I’m Sarah Cole and Patchwork Fez is the banner that I use for the games stuff I do.

My day job is doing geeky stuff at TIME/IMAGE—a creative consultancy for museums and various institutions with data—but I spend increasing amounts of time in games and related playful nonsense.

You can find my CV here.

I run some games events (like Off the Page at the British Library), help out at a few others (like Global Game Jam Brighton, NowPlayThis, and Feral Vector), and go to a lot of others (like DiGRA-FDG, Pokémon concerts, and A MAZE).

I’m also part of MakePlayCode, Brighton’s friendliest videogame-making gang.

I make horrible games; VR games that deliberately make you sick, card games about drowning, and so on.
